Our Story

We wanted to create a website to show you our career opportunities, and when we started developing this website, I wanted to write something personal about our story to date. Like most businesses, we’ve gone through a lot, from navigating financial downturns to keeping businesses alive during the global pandemic. And yet, through all this adversity, we have seen many transformational changes over the years.

Every moment in our business has led us to this point. 

So, let’s go back to the beginning.  

Damteq started life way back in 2006 when the internet was a very different place. I was only 16 years old, I’d just left school, and quite frankly, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I was about to start college and had – no joke – about £5 in the bank. 

I decided to buy a domain name and create a little bedroom business building basic websites (on ye ‘ol dreamweaver) without knowing a thing about how to run a business.

I mean no idea.

As I didn’t know how to name a business either, I called myself aDAM TEChnology Solutions, which is an early iteration of the Damteq we are today. 

Back then, the only important thing for me was to ALWAYS do my best work; even now, this is a core goal of ours today. We always strive to do the best for our clients and people. 

As Damteq grew, I left the spare bedroom and rented our first office. I say ‘office’, but in reality, it was more of a cupboard with a desk in. 

However, it was the best cupboard I’d ever worked in. 

We’ve grown in the most grassroots way possible. We’ve always spent less than we’ve earned, so our cash flow is sound, and we’ve always made strategic decisions quickly, with little friction. Even today, we’ve never had external support, funding or a bank loan to get us through. 

Every year in business has been profitable, even through the global pandemic (let’s not even talk about that). 

As a growth agency aiming to help our customers grow, we should always practice what we preach. I know I’d never trust a marketing agency that couldn’t grow themselves.

Our growth has been pretty special. To date, we’ve worked with over 900 clients across 15 different countries. We’ve worked with hundreds of super SMEs up to national brands like BMW, Buy-A-Gift, Red Letter Days and Specsavers. 

Ooooo, not bad for a 16-year-old kid with all the gear and no idea.

As a company, we now have multi-million in revenues with a fantastic team of Specialists. We manage over £4,500,000 in advertising spend on behalf of our clients, too and are proud of our well-being and commitment to our people through our best-in-class benefits packages. 

We’ve grown through 5 different offices to our current dedicated space of over 3,000 sq ft. On average, we’ve grown about 40% yearly, every year we’ve existed.

We’re super focused on growth in every area and want reliable, focused, motivated and accountable people to help us grow to the next level. 

In business, we try to keep things simple and straightforward. We are looking to hire genuine specialists who can work with our existing team to leverage Damteq as a platform for growth. We see it as a collaborative and welcoming place to be an expert in a particular discipline and thrive. 

We’ve created a lovely culture with great people, and my job is to ensure we continue to grow and scale with the best talent around to help us navigate the next phase of our company’s growth. 

Over the years, we’ve grown up a lot. However, we still have many of the same values as what we did back in 2006. 

It’s straightforward… Let’s have fun, help each other, enjoy what we do, and do our best work. If we do that, our people and our customers will love us.
