What have previous clients said about you?

I think it’s very hard to find a marketing agency that is willing to help strategise the experimentation required in marketing. Most are competent at putting ads live and providing the metric but Growth Division put the effort in to determine what ads were going to be most effective and adjusted as they learned more. They also price the offering well for different types of clients and stages of startups” “I think it’s very hard to find a marketing agency that is willing to help strategise the experimentation required in marketing.

Theo Inglis – Founder

The breadth and depth of experience on their team – we’ve met and worked with probably 10+ of the GD team at this point and they are all top of their game in their respective fields. This means that they not only execute on our goals but also bring hugely valuable insights and perspectives to our campaigns, that we wouldn’t have thought of.

This is a killer combo and means they add value at every turn. They’re generous with their time and efforts, and treat their clients like they’re a part of the family. One example is how Stephen Johnson, their LinkedIn expert, kindly offered an hour of time for free to help me set up LinkedIn ads from scratch on my own, despite me not “technically” being a client of his.

Sasha Small, Head of Growth

Have been working with Alex on mostly direct outreach campaigns since early 2022 - an absolutely brilliant growth consultant. Very professional, results-driven and scientific in his approach, a joy to work with, responsive and great at leading, training and motivating his team. Would work with him again in a heartbeat!

100% engagement is what you get with Alex. Over two years Alex was instrumental to the growth of my business from just one county to expanding throughout the whole UK. Most of all he is easy-going and great to work with and earned our complete trust through his passion for whatever he worked on. There is a reason we chose Alex above the 50 other people we interviewed for the role and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
