Carrie-Ann Sudlow Consultancy, a boutique marketing agency that began in Cheshire, has achieved remarkable growth by transitioning to a remote-first and hybrid work model. The agency has expanded from a small team of seven to 18 employees across the UK, with revenue increasing by 50% while simultaneously improving productivity and employee satisfaction.
The agency’s workforce, now spread from Cheshire to London, has embraced the flexibility and autonomy offered by remote working. Mya Ridgway, a senior team member with over eight years at the company, has found that working remotely has significantly enhanced her focus and output.
“Working remotely has allowed me to focus without the distractions of an office environment, and I’ve found I’m far more productive,” Mya noted. “Although we work remotely, I still meet up with my colleagues often, which keeps our team spirit strong.”
Specialising in SEO, social media management, and Google Ads, the consultancy has cemented its position as a trusted provider of marketing solutions. Its core services include:
- Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): Driving organic traffic and conversions by improving website visibility and search rankings.
- Social Media Management: Creating engaging campaigns to connect with audiences, enhance brand loyalty, and support business growth on platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
- Google Ads: Designing impactful advertising strategies that maximise lead generation and deliver high ROI.
The agency’s remote-first approach has not compromised teamwork or communication. Digital tools, virtual collaboration, and regular in-person meetups ensure a cohesive and dynamic team environment. Mya highlighted how this balance supports both independence and strong connections.
“Even though we’re based all over the UK, we make sure to meet up often to stay connected,” she shared. “It’s one of the things I love most about working here—the balance between independence and teamwork.”
“Our remote and hybrid working model has been a game-changer for everyone on the team,” a senior team member explained. “We’ve found that this flexibility allows us to be more creative and productive while staying connected to our clients and each other.”
As the agency looks to the future, Carrie-Ann Sudlow Consultancy remains committed to client satisfaction, team well-being, and innovative digital marketing strategies. With its thriving remote model, the company is well-positioned to continue expanding its services and delivering exceptional results to its clients.
