Summit Media is one of the UK's most extraordinary success stories of the digital media world. The business was started seven years ago in a prison with the ambition of delivering highly effective online marketing for clients as well as developing a pioneering training and rehabilitation scheme for prisons that would lead to employment on release.
With no previous experience of running an agency, Summit Media has built an NMA ranked top 10 digital agency that now employs 100 staff in two countries and has trained over 250 prisoners, many whom now have successful careers in digital media and are taxpaying citizens. Read more about how Summit Media has evolved in a recent Telegraph article.
With no sales infrastructure whatsoever, just a reliance on referrals, Summit has grown the company from a turnover of £100,000 to £16 million in just seven years. Summit has a loyal 'blue chip' client base which includes 2 of the UK's top 5 internet retailers, Argos and Play.com. Summit operates from 3 sites; a UK HQ in Yorkshire, HMP Wolds and a European HQ in the centre of Prague employing over 20 designers, developers and support staff.
