Digital disruption is becoming impossible to resist. Emerging technologies and adaptive business models are transforming how organisations operate, and the value of their products and services.


Now, even the most traditional industries are embracing data and innovation; according to Forbes, start-ups can increase revenue by 34% relying on digital-first strategies, with all enterprises increasing revenue by 23%.
One company who recognises the profound value of a digital-first business model – and is increasingly leveraging data and insights to drive digital engagements – is full-service creative and technical agency Zesty.
Zesty is a part of Wireless, home to Dublin’s FM104, local station U105, talkSPORT and of course The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio.
With over 400 years of experience gained across 2,000+ client engagements and with a 35 strong team, Zesty has worked with some of the best-known companies and public sector organisations in Ireland, the UK and Europe. Their varied portfolio of current clients includes: NIE Networks, Fáilte Ireland, GAA and Ulster Orchestra. Recent client engagements include EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe in Paris, Shannon Heritage, based in Limerick and the National Museum of Ireland.
The company has recently broadened its digital service offering, making two key appointments to support and deliver on this expansion.
Managing Director Andrew Maybin said, “The scale of the digital engagements we are securing is driving the agency’s growth here at home, GB, in southern Ireland and in Europe. These two senior hires allow us to offer our clients the ability to increase sales and grow their target audiences online. That capability complements our award-winning design, UX and development teams beautifully”.
The agency’s work is regularly recognised by industry awards, most recently winning a Spider Award in the highly competitive ‘Best in Travel, Tourism & Sport’ category for their ‘Meet in Ireland’ website project…beating the All Blacks website in the process! They also picked up a DANI Award for Best Online Experience for the Visit Blackpool website and have secured a finalist spot in the Digital DNA Awards.
Zesty will be capitalising upon extensive skill and experience in creating and implementing bespoke, scalable digital strategies for clients. From maximising brand visibility to generating online revenue, the agency will tailor their digital marketing activity to a variety of commercial objectives and support new and existing clients across all industries. The newly-expanded service offering includes: digital advertising (on Google and social channels such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn), social media marketing, email marketing, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), content creation (from blogs, to brochures, to ebooks) and digital data analysis, which will help businesses to benchmark their digital performance.
Tara Leathem, Head of Business Development said; “We’re delighted to welcome Sophie and Pamela to the team, their agency background and wealth of digital experience will strengthen our service offering and provide our current and prospective clients with an integrated approach to support their business objectives and deliver result driven campaigns.”
