The London-based eCommerce SEO Agency, Novos, has announced its growth plan for the next financial year as it closes the current one with a record £1 million in revenue

The London-based eCommerce SEO Agency, Novos, has announced its growth plan for the next financial year as it closes the current one with a record £1 million in revenue. The company that expanded its team by over 100%, hiring continuously throughout the pandemic, has appointed James Congdon, a key figure in the UK digital agency industry, as its new head of growth to fuel Novos’ expansion targets.

With a decade-long experience that combines both in-house and agency side work, James has been instrumental in the success of some of the country’s top agencies. During his last role at JBH digital, he played an important part in tripling turnover in six months and increasing staff by 300%. He formed part of the management team for award-winning, nationally acclaimed SEO agency Verve search, where he helped to start and develop the Digital PR team before going on to play an important role in growing the agency from a commercial perspective — leading to its acquisition by the global media giant, Omnicom.

"I am absolutely champing at the bit to join the award-winning team of Novos. My remit will be to help the agency to accelerate in its already rapid growth and to say that I am excited is an understatement."

Founded just over 2 years ago, Novos has disrupted the UK’s agency scene by working with close to 150 global brands and owning the niche of eCommerce SEO. Novos has won 5 international awards, including The Drum’s DADI award, and has been applauded for its positive company culture. Novos’ co-founder, Samuel Hurley, commented, “We’re in a fortunate position to have grown throughout the pandemic and with James joining, we're even more confident of our growth trajectory — it will be thrilling to see what 2021 holds. I’ve known James for a few years now and we’ve always toyed with the idea of working together, but now the timing is perfect”

The agency plans to 2x its growth in the new financial year by doubling its revenue, client count and staff. The recent hiring spree at Novos that saw the recruitment of 10 new strategists and managers, is still on. Visit Novos’ careers page to see the job openings.
