Jump is targeting overseas expansion, following a 6-figure investment from the North East Growth Capital Fund.
The digital agency says it plans to look at growth in Ireland, the United States and mainland Europe.
It has also recruited its first Commercial Director, David Lovenbury. Lovenbury has previously worked at senior levels at BMV Recruitment Group and Edward Reed Recruitment. He’s also a Board Director and Trustee of the NE Youth and Dementia Matters charities.
“We have phenomenally talented brand, design and digital development teams who produce absolutely outstanding work. Our job is to accelerate the commercial returns for our customers by asserting our expertise in strategic brand growth,” he said.
“JUMP has an inspirational and hugely driven senior team that’s full of ideas for how we can take our North East creativity onto the global stage and the chance to be part of that journey was too good to turn down.”
The North East Growth Capital Fund is supported by the European Regional Development Fund.
“JUMP is firmly established as one of the North East creative industry’s leading lights and their ambition to use this as a springboard for international success is hugely admirable,” said Jane Siddle, investment executive at NEL Fund Managers.
