Double-winner, bigmouthmedia takes home the Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year and Growth Strategy of the Year Awards at the National Business Awards for Scotland.

On Thursday 14th September 2006 the full search agency, bigmouthmedia, confidently attended the National Business Awards for Scotland with entry into two award categories. At the end of the night the delighted bigmouthmedia party left the awards in Glasgow with not just one, but TWO of the coveted awards; the ‘Growth Strategy of the Year Award and the ‘Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year' award.

A National Business Award is the UK’s most sought-after business award, and was referred to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, as the ‘Business Oscars’. To win one of these awards is a feat in itself, but to win two is an accolade.

Speaking about the wins, Steve Leach, bigmouthmedia’s CEO commented “We’re delighted to have won these awards. Next year, our turnover will exceed the threshold for the Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year award so we’re really happy to have bagged it while we can! To also have won the 'Growth Strategy of the Year Award' highlights and recognises bigmouthmedia's plans for the future, and the fact that our ambitious growth strategy is going according to plan”.

The last couple of years have seen an impressive growth in business for the full search agency, as well as the growth in the size of the team. Leach puts the growth down to the ethics of the company, the quality of his management team, and the hard work of the talented workforce. With this winning cocktail bigmouthmedia has all of the ingredients to take the world by storm, and the growth strategy award shows that the panel of judges for the UK's most prestigious business awards think that bigmouthmedia will achieve all of its potential.

A key part of the group's growth plans will be expanding overseas, and establishing a presence in Los Angeles by March next year to complement the group's office in New York, which opened at the start of the year and employs four. An office in LA will put the group closer to one of its biggest clients, Hilton, as well as California's entertainment, travel and hospitality companies.

Bigmouthmedia are a leading company in Search Engine Optimisation and Internet Marketing, and are approaching their 10th year in business. Steve Leach, together with Heather Luscombe, founded bigmouthmedia in 1997, taking on three staff. The firm now employs around 50 people.
