PERFECT 10: DECADE OF SERVICE FOR
AWARD-WINNING MARKETING AGENCY
» » SAM CROSS, ACCOUNT
director at leading full-service
marketing agency Purplex, is
celebrating ten years with the
award-winning firm.
Sam joined Purplex in February
2009, initially as a copywriter
working on client campaigns, but
he quickly progressed through
the business and was appointed
account director in 2014. Today
he is responsible for developing
powerful multi-channel
marketing strategies for some of
Purplex’s largest clients.
Sam comments: “When I first
joined, we had seven staff and
predominantly offered ‘traditional’
marketing services such as PR and
direct mail, whereas today we have
more than 70 staff and offer the
full spectrum of marketing services
including online lead generation,
TV and radio. The business has
changed a lot in the last decade
but our obsession with delivering
results has always remained the
same, and that is why we’ve been
able to retain and attract so many
clients.”
Purplex Marketing was founded
in 2004 by Andrew Scott; the
company has grown by at least
34% every year and was recently
named ‘Best Construction
Marketing Agency’ at the 2019
UK Enterprise Awards.
