Our Values

We're Trusted

To Deliver Results

We think that trust is important. That's why we wear our heart on the sleeve of our lab coats, being up front about what we stand for and the results that we can get for you through our innovative, data lead approach to search marketing.

Our clients benefit from this relationship of trust, infact 96% of our clients would recommend us to a colleague (Epiphany Client Services Questionnaire, December 2011).

We've Embedded Innovation

So You Get A Competitive Edge

We're the only search marketing agency to have created inhouse copywriting, online pr, web development and design teams. This investment, £300,000 in 2011 alone, means that our clients benefit from a truly multidisciplinary approach to search marketing.

Creating interactive tools, infographics, web sites, research, custom written articles and other quality content means that we can acquire high authority links that our competitors can't.

We're Transparent

So You're Kept Informed

We think that its important for you to know exactly where things are at with your account. That means that we're 100% transparent in our reporting. We have processes to keep you informed at all stages of your campaign, enabling you to see which elements of your budget yield maximum return. Our transparency helps us cultivate real relationships with our clients based on trust.

 

We're Intelligent

So We Think Before Acting

We're geeks. There, we said it. Numbers geeks, design geeks, marketing geeks. We compile detailed, sector specific research and forensically analyse data to make sure that we understand the fast changing world of search. Our passion for data and analysis is one of the many things that sets us apart from our competition. Every decision we make starts life in the lab.

We write for some of the world's leading online publications including Econsultancy, SEOMoz and Search Engine Land.

We're Dynamic

So We Deliver Sustained Growth

We have been one of the fastest growing marketing agencies in the UK for four consecutive years (based on figures from New Media Age and The Drum). This dynamic growth is down to our relationships with clients and innovative working practices. We make sure that we use technology in a nimble way, allowing us to use the best and most up to date tools for the job without limiting our options in the future.

We're Professional

and here for the long term

Our reputation for brilliant account management, transparent reporting, flexible billing and sharing expertise means that we're seen as one of the most reliable search agencies in the UK. But we go further than that. We plan our business scientifically, ensuring that we grow sustainably without any risk of over promising and underdelivering.

We're passionate about search marketing and pass on our expertise to the next generation of search marketers by running a graduate scheme and mentoring students from the University of Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan University.
