Creative Pod, an award-winning leader in digital marketing and design, recently celebrated a significant milestone in its journey – its 18th birthday

Founded by the well-connected entrepreneur Matt Turner, Creative Pod has become synonymous with innovation, creativity, and excellence in the industry. Over the years, the company’s drive to deliver creative marketing with a Michelin-star service to shout about has earned it a stellar reputation. And it is firmly on its way to being the leading and most-loved marketing agency in the South East.

To mark this special occasion, Creative Pod hosted a spectacular birthday party at none other than the Brighton Palace Pier. In iconic Creative Pod-style, clients and business partners were invited for a fun afternoon to enjoy the pier’s fantastic food and drink, as well as its rides and amusements!

The event was more than just a birthday party; it also served as a great networking event. As a marketing agency with such experience and depth in connections, the guest list was filled with a fantastic blend of characters and personalities from a huge range of industries spanning from Coral Production to Cyber Security to Fertility.

Highlighting the afternoon was a speech delivered by Founder and CEO, Matt Turner. Matt shared stories from his remarkable journey, engaging the audience with tales ranging from the humble beginnings of Creative Pod to encounters with royalty. Highlights from the 18 years included Matt’s appointment as Export Champion for the Cabinet Office in 2023 and the numerous awards and accolades of Creative Pod, including becoming a Google Partner Agency and a Drum recommend agency for three years running, reaffirming its industry leadership.

These achievements are a testament to the dedication and expertise of the talented team, led by Marketing Director Sarah Lyons, who was named Employee of the Year at the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards 2023.

Reflecting on the company’s growth over the years, Matt expressed his excitement about entering Creative Pod’s ‘adolescence’ years. Recent times have witnessed significant milestones and growth for the company, driven by a dedicated team and commitment to excellence. In Matt’s own words, “Creative Pod’s 18th birthday is not just a celebration of the past; it’s a testament to our resilience, creativity, and unwavering dedication to our clients.

“As we look back on how far we’ve come, we also look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Our journey is far from over, and I am immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished together.”

In addition to the 18th birthday party, this year the company branding has also undergone a temporary refresh. Demonstrating the design excellence and creativity of the team, the brand’s digital assets have been temporarily overtaken by the 18th Birthday design which reflects Matt’s passion for street art combined with the young and rebellious feel typically associated with turning 18.

Matt and all of Creative Pod would like to extend their thanks to everyone who has supported the company over the years and to all those who joined them for the celebrations on the day. It truly was a memorable event in the Creative Pod history and there is no doubt there will be another celebration when the company hits the momentous age of 21. So, here’s to Creative Pod - 18 years young and brimming with potential. The best is yet to come.
