About Us

We’re acronym free and committed to providing an anti-fluff zone. We’re big on chemistry, excited by the power of marketing and driven by results.

Why choose Patch as your marketing agency?

Our determination to drive success comes from the foundational belief that we are partners in your business. We treat your budget as our budget and therefore spend it wisely.

No two clients are the same, and we can be what you need us to be. You may be experienced in marketing and want to discuss high-level cross-data analysis with all the jargon. Or, you might prefer the more concise version so you don’t have to try and quietly look up what XX means during meetings  – either way is fine by us. We will be what you need your marketing partner to be.

Aside from creating successful data-driven marketing strategies, Patch is best known for being about people. Our clients stay with us because of the time we spend getting to know you and your business inside and out, providing support, genuine two-way partnerships, and some laughs along the way.

As an agency, we pride ourselves on being authentic; so you can expect real collaboration, ideas, and relationships from real people with a passion for digital marketing and the events industry.

We’re incredibly proud of the culture and output we’ve created at Patch – and we’d love you to be a part of it!

So we’ve won awards and worked with amazing clients, but – let’s be honest – that’s not really what you want to know, is it? Every digital marketing agency has won awards these days and, in that sense, we’re no different to any of them. 

Our focus is chemistry, with both our team and our clients, working in partnership to build positive relationships with everyone we work with – we’re driven by objectives, but we might as well have fun along the way, right?

With established departments in each service we provide, there is absolute certainty that you’re in good, technically knowledgeable (and very experienced) hands.
