Sledge, a UK based agency with experience in live experience and film, has seen a 32% increase in revenue this year.
This is a result of the agency securing work with new and existing clients.
The agency acquired SWM Partners in February 2020 and has recently wrapped up an eight-week virtual program for We Are Family Foundation’s (WAFF) Just Peace Summit, in-person events for Creative HEAD Magazine, and the virtual FACT Dialogue event.
Sledge managed the entire show, which was broadcast to a global audience, including creative direction, filming, editing and scripting, handled web design and development, and supported on a film-focused social media strategy.
Committed to the return of live events, Sledge is also building its team to keep up with client demand. It has also launched a new website.
Sarah Yeats, managing director, Sledge, commented: “There’s no doubt that the past 18 months have been challenging for our industry, and we’re feeling grateful that our size, strategic and consultative approach, and commitment to pushing the creative boundaries has enabled Sledge to both continue its operations during the pandemic, and achieve the successes it has of late.
“While our expertise has always been in live experience and film, we are definitely seeing a renewed focus on pairing these two powerful mediums together, and we’re incredibly excited to be working with clients to bring their visions to life in virtual, hybrid and face-to-face environments. The growing demand we’re experiencing for the latter is a positive sign for our industry, and we are confident in its ability to bounce back.”
Nancy Hunt, co-founder and president, We Are Family Foundation, said: “We engage Sledge to produce our in-person and virtual events due to their ability to respond to our briefs with creativity and passion, and consistently deliver seamless experiences for our community.
“Despite the challenges associated with taking any event online, the team worked with us every step of the way to design, produce and manage engaging, educational experiences for our discerning Just Peace Summit youth audience in both 2020 and 2021. We value our partnership with Sledge immensely, and look forward to continuing to work with them.”
