“The Drum invited some of Yorkshire’s senior fraternity to tell us which companies they think deserve more of the headlines. Some of the agencies mentioned are in their infancy, while others have been around for longer but have habitually hidden their light under a bushel. Either way, what’s apparent is the depth of talent that resides within Yorkshire. The county has been home to a host of top talent for many years, such as Principles, Poulters and JDA, but is also now the stomping ground of smaller exciting agencies such as Fuse8.”
Nigel Hunter, MD fuse8 said “We’re grateful for such recognition and in particular for the personal comments of Mike Phillipson, MD of Propaganda, an agency I for one am seriously in awe of, for their ability to rise above the mundane”
“You cannot shrink your way to greatness in business and there are a lot of Yorkshire agencies that are not shrinking away from challenging the status quo: Fuse8… is just one of the agencies that have caught my eye. There are more and I will probably kick myself later for leaving some agencies off the shortlist, but these are the first ones that spring to mind. The link … is they all have people who want to make a difference, who have sleepless nights thinking about their business, who have a dream.”
Mike Phillipson, managing director, Propaganda
Whilst the recognition of industry peers is always nice, more importantly is the recognition we receive from our clients. During the last week alone we have had great feedback from three key clients:
Denis Davies
Senior Relationship Manager, Inward Investment
Thames Gateway Delivery Unit
Department for Communities and Local Government
The Thames Gateway Delivery Unit at the Department for Communities and Local Government works closely with the fuse8 team putting together promotional events to attract investment to the region.
We find their experience of inward investment work and their understanding of the needs of our target audience of great importance.Put simply fuse8 gives Thames Gateway essential additional capacity and capability which makes them a valuable partner in our work.

Working with fuse8 is always fun! They’re a great bunch of people, who know their stuff and do what’s required to get their clients great results – what more can you ask?
They’re great value and because we work with them across all of our marketing activity, we get great integrated results – whether that’s local marketing on a specific site, or across the world on the web.
Working with fuse8 is like having an extended marketing team, its in-house, just not in house.
Ali Berry
National Marketing Director,
Sequence (UK) Ltd
Working with the fuse8 team for 5 years has been a great experience. Together we have created some outstanding award-winning marketing campaigns, all of which have been challenging at times, but always fun.
They always deliver, are always on budget and have always punched over their weight.
It’s good to know that when I have had a problem to solve, the fuse8 guys are at the other end of the phone to make it go away!
