SEARCH-driven content agency No Brainer has celebrated its tenth birthday in style, marking a decade of growth, awards successes and high-profile client wins.
The Warrington firm, which has become one of the North’s most in-demand agencies, hosted a special, invite-only party at The Palmyra Cocktail Bar – attended by around 100 guests including colleagues, clients, family and friends.
No Brainer was founded in 2015 by Gary Jenkins and Lee Cullen. The pair – who worked together at Chester-based MBNA – left their day jobs to start the fledgling business from Gary’s spare room.
Fast forward a decade and the firm now boasts 15 industry-leading SEO, Digital PR and content experts, Warrington’s ‘coolest’ office, and a client base containing some of the UK’s biggest brands.
Managing director Gary Jenkins said: “What started as a dream for us has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of: a thriving agency, brilliant team, and work that’s making a real impact.
“It’s been a decade of graft, growth, learning, and plenty of laughs – and none of it would’ve been possible without the amazing people around us.
“To our team, clients, partners, and everyone who’s backed us on this journey: thank you. Hitting this ten-year milestone is just the beginning – what’s coming next is even more exciting, so watch this space.”
No Brainer’s last 12 months includes a multitude of award wins and big announcements, including being named one of the UK’s Great Places to Work.
With clients including AO.com, MBNA and Places for People, the B Corp-accredited business is now firmly focused on a new period of growth – expanding its digital offering and pushing creative boundaries across the UK and beyond.
Lee Cullen, co-founder and director said: “Both of us knew we were taking a risk starting an agency from scratch. We left good roles behind and bootstrapped our way, navigating some really tricky times including the Covid pandemic to get to this point.
“From day one, Gary and I set out to build something different: a values-led agency built on expertise, integrity and a genuine desire to make a difference. We’ve stayed true to that vision, and today we’re proud to lead a brilliant team that puts results, relationships and doing the right thing at the heart of everything we do.”
