Investis claims to work with over 50% of the FTSE100 at a
corporate level and is a specialist in a market where most players
are touting their all-round skills.
This isn't harming the agency, however. By focusing on corporate
work Investis has managed to grow its revenues by over
£600,000 in the last 12 months and CEO Justin Walters is
predicting 30% growth this year. "Quoted companies are now seeing
the benefit of getting a specialist for corporate website work," he
says.
The agency is benefiting from the shift of budgets into digital
across the board, with everything from company reports to human
resources moving online. In March this year it acquired Salt Mine,
an agency that specialised in internal communications for large
corporations, and it's now looking for more acquisitions in the UK.
The boom in corporate social responsibility is also playing into
Investis's hands.
"CSR is now an important part of a company's communications and the
more seriously people see it the better for us," says
Walters.
Growth has also been gained from the smaller company market, with
many small companies now taking online more seriously for
everything from communications to job advertising. Walters says
that the challenge now facing the agency is managing the growth
that has seen staff numbers rise by 17 in the last 12 months.
"We're growing faster than when we were a young company and we're
working at keeping up that growth," he says.
Work over the last 12 months has seen Investis create corporate
websites for Prudential, Scottish & Newcastle and Stagecoach
Group. It has also created a press website for Benetton and a site
to announce the listing of Debenhams on the London Stock
Exchange.
