Who are we?

Our journey begins. Our founders Jen and Jodie launch The Marketing Pod from a tiny office on Knowle high street.

As business begins to boom Pod hires its first official recruit, and we start developing our dedicated centres of excellence.

Pod grows its creative capabilities with its first design hire, Zoe - who’s still with us today.

With the business rapidly expanding, Pod moves to a new, rural location at Umberslade Business Centre, which remains our HQ all these years later.

A little over a year after its inception, Pod collects its first big award win - a Gold from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR).

We hit the big-time headlines, named in The Guardian’s Small Business Showcase, which highlights and rewards innovation and good practice in small businesses

A year after the first, we scoop our second Gold CIPR award.

Team Pod reaches eight marvellous marketing specialists, covering strategy, PR, content and creative. Oh, and we’re highly commended in two categories at The Drum Awards!

Having outgrown our existing space, we extend our operations at Umberslade Business Centre, creating a beautiful barn conversion for Pod to call home.

The Marketing Pod won Gold and Silver awards at the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Midlands PRide Awards in the Best Publication and Corporate and Business Communications Campaign categories.
