WHO we are…

The vision of House Digital and what we are all about.

House Digital is an award winning, Prolific North Top 50 Digital Agency. We are a full-service digital marketing and training company, delivering strategic, innovative and results-driven solutions. We specialise in integrated, multi-channel campaigns and operate heavily in ecommerce. We have a scientific approach to digital marketing, with a huge emphasis on hypothesis testing and learning, to be better able to predict results for our clients. Our strategy is to reduce the risk of spending BIG on digital by making activity and results as predictable, controllable and as accurate as can be.

At House we think outside the box and take ownership of performance. We call ourselves the architects for our clients' extraordinary growth. We do this by thinking smarter, delivering quicker, and acting more commercially than the competition, and we do it through innovation, insightful action and long-term partnerships with brands.

We are unlike the channel centric agencies that sell on hours and report on sessions and impressions. We know for extraordinary growth, that is both aggressive and sustainable, that we must strengthen internal teams, outsmart the competitor and strategise for the future digital landscape.
