Record £2m revenue milestone as Fantastic Media enters its 20th year

Leeds-based full-service marketing agency Fantastic Media has begun 2026 by surpassing the £2 million revenue mark for the first time in its history, as it enters its 20th year of business.

The milestone follows a period of sustained growth driven by the agency’s strategic approach to marketing, which has seen increasing demand from ambitious businesses seeking clarity, focus and measurable commercial impact. This consultancy-led approach has supported a series of new client wins across manufacturing, engineering, technology and food retail.

Fantastic Media’s growth has been fuelled by its belief that effective marketing starts with insight, not tactics. By placing commercial understanding, audience insight and market opportunity at the centre of every relationship, the agency helps clients make confident, evidence-led decisions about where to invest and how to achieve long-term returns. This strategic foundation enables joined-up marketing programmes that are designed to drive sustained performance rather than short-term activity.
The agency operates an integrated model, bringing brand, PR, digital, content and demand generation together under a single strategic framework. This ensures all channels work in service of the same commercial objectives, giving clients greater alignment, fewer inefficiencies and increased confidence in outcomes.

Managing director Sally Willis says: “As we enter our 20th year, surpassing £2 million income feels like a significant moment and reflects a clear shift in how ambitious businesses want to work with agencies. Our growth hasn’t come from chasing volume or adding layers of activity; it has come from a disciplined, strategic approach that focuses on what genuinely drives value.

“At a time when many organisations are navigating economic uncertainty, leaders are looking for clarity rather than complexity. They want to understand what will make a real difference to their business and why. By putting strategy first and integrating everything around it, we help clients cut through the noise, make smarter decisions and achieve stronger, more sustainable results over time.”

Communications director, Stefanie Hopkins, adds: “Reaching this point is as much about our people as it is about performance. We’ve built a team that truly understands our clients’ businesses and operates as trusted consultants, not just marketers. That depth of understanding is a key reason organisations place their confidence in us when making critical decisions. As we approach 20 years, our culture remains one of our strongest assets.”

Based in Leeds city centre with a 28-strong team of professionals, the agency is targeting £2.5m turnover in its 20th year. Its growing portfolio of 50+ retained national and international clients across a diverse range of sectors includes STADA Thornton & Ross, British Weightlifting, Schades Group and SEW-EURODRIVE.
