When you see a business arrive in town, it is easy to wonder about the story behind it. For us, bringing activ Marketing to Ipswich was not just about launching a service. It was about starting something meaningful in the community we live in. Our journey combines a love for digital marketing, years of experience across different industries, and a genuine belief that local businesses in Ipswich deserve clear, practical support.
A background built on knowledge and experience
Sidh’s career started in strategy and operations, backed by a PhD in digital transformation in the age of AI, a degree in digital marketing and experience managing teams in demanding roles. His work has spanned customer experience, luxury retail and data analytics, giving him the insight to understand how businesses can grow in changing times.
Sylwia has always had a passion for creative storytelling. With a digital marketing qualification and hands-on experience creating social content, she brings the human touch that makes marketing feel approachable. After taking a break to raise our children, Sylwia rediscovered her career path through digital marketing. What began as an interest soon became a calling.
Together, we found activ Marketing. The branding immediately caught our eye, the bold pink spoke to us, and the message of being a people-first digital marketing company aligned with our own values.
Why activ, and why Ipswich?
We wanted to be part of a trusted digital marketing company that already had a strong track record, national recognition and a proven framework. activ fitted the bill. The brand has won national awards, and has helped hundreds of small businesses succeed across the UK.
At the same time, Ipswich felt like the perfect place for us. It is a town full of ambitious entrepreneurs, creative start-ups and established businesses that care about their community. What was missing was an approachable agency that could bridge the gap between national expertise and local knowledge. That is where we felt we could make a difference. With our family, and in our home! We’re a family run business, backed by a national agency.
Our mission in Ipswich
For us, it is not about quick wins. We believe in building long-term relationships with clients, simplifying marketing and making it accessible. Whether it is businesses that need to reach more customers, companies that need to stay consistent, or help with branding that truly represents their values, our goal is the same. We want to help businesses grow in a sustainable way.
We also believe in backing up creativity with data. Sidh is currently studying data science at Cambridge University, expanding his expertise in analytics. This means our clients benefit from both creative thinking and hard evidence of what works.
Recognition along the way
Before launching activ Marketing Ipswich, we have been proud to receive recognition locally and nationally. Sidh was shortlisted for Business Person of the Year in Suffolk, and our franchise network has won national awards that highlight the quality of support we provide. These milestones remind us why we started: to give Ipswich businesses marketing they can trust.
