This latest move follows the acquisition of Bristol agency Strategy Digital last summer and the opening of a London office, to grow the Fat Media brand and offering into the South, offering employment opportunities and an unparalleled range of expertise.

Fat Media CEO David Durnford explains: “This deal complements our existing paid search offering in Bristol and helps bring even more clients into the Fat Media world as part of our aim to become the UK’s leading national full service digital agency.

“We plan to grow the Bristol team further, and are looking to recruit approximately eight experts across our service offerings over the next six months.

This acquisition provides us with the infrastructure to do just that.”
