Two Swindon Companies Join Forces

Digital marketing agency, toinfinity is joining forces with one of Swindon's leading creatives.

The company has been based in Swindon for some years and felt that the time was right to invest in growth

With this toinfinity has welcomed Ant Hodges, previously of Creative Rush, to join the team. Ant will be combining his freelance business, Ko-juhnt, into toinfinity and be focussing on business development and the management of all creative output for the business.

Focussing on everything digital, the team at toinfinity provide clients such as Readers Digest and cycling giant Rapha, with digital marketing solutions - pay-per-click, e-commerce, affiliate programs, email marketing and social media insight.

“Many businesses decided at the start of this financial year, to cut traditional marketing spend,” said MD Al Keck. “But we have found that the big names and small businesses alike want to work with an agency who deliver real returns through focused digital marketing, media and much more.

“At toinfinity we’ve decided now was the time to invest to secure our future, focussing on growing our existing work and developing new client relationships.”

Ant, who will be the new business development director, said he knew the business world was difficult, his company Creative Rush, having been a victim of the recession.

“I am under no illusion that in today’s climate, things are tough for many people,” he said.

“And thats SMEs right through to corporate businesses.The right mix of traditional marketing coupled with ‘new’ media campaigns will not only help businesses to increase revenue, but also to keep relationships alive with their clients and customers - generating seeds for future success.”

Ant is a highly dedicated and motivated professional with a strong background of leadership within the design and marketing industry, digital and offline. He will be part of a team, working to secure new digital and new media business.

“As part of the process combining Ko-junht with toinfinity, it was decided that the toinfinity branding needed a refresh,” said Al.

“Being part of a highy dynamic industry that is continually evolving - “it is key that we stay at the forefront of this industry and we believe the new branding reflects our revised proposition in the market place.”

Good luck to you Ant, perfectly suited to the position. It is tough out there and it's all about relationships and keeping up with the current trends. As a freelancer I'm finding smaller businesses are willing to spend on these products but want/need to maximise their investment down to the last penny. Social media, SEO and communication are the methods to show results and the right management of these will provide dividends. I'll be sure to contact you with bigger projects!
