16 Years of Air Social, the digital marketing agency in Guildford, Surrey

March 25, 2025

Wow – what a journey it’s been!

Sixteen years ago, I founded Air Social with the vision of building a powerhouse digital agency that delivers results, fosters relationships, and creates work we’re truly proud of.

Today, as I look back on everything we’ve achieved, I couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate this milestone with the incredible team that makes it all possible as we conclude our financial year and set the clock again on the 1st March.

Air Social isn’t just a business; it’s a family. Our team is the life blood of everything we do, and their passion, creativity, and expertise have driven us to new heights. We’re a dynamic mix of creatives, paid performance specialists, social media experts, and marketers, all working together to deliver innovative and results-driven campaigns for our clients. With our roots firmly in Surrey and our reach spanning across the globe, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner for top brands worldwide.

Our Best Year Yet!

This past year has been nothing short of phenomenal. We’ve had a record-breaking year, both in terms of business growth and client retention. We welcomed four new team members and built an additional team with Dave, one of our incredible digital advertising managers with 10+ years’ experience in high-converting lead generation; George, our account manager who receives daily praise from our clients for his communication and the ability to make presenting reporting and data fun and engaging for our clients; and Jack, who joined their team to deliver incredible social media creative and some fantastic content filming days for our clients. Jonathan joined Anna’s department as our new graphic designer and has been nothing short of brilliant, recently delivering an amazing project for our client Cloudficient in the USA.

Internally, we saw well-deserved promotions: On the leadership side, Luke has stepped into the role of Client Services Director after six years with us – someone who has become a great friend to me over the years and always turns my ideas into a reality while keeping me grounded. Aaron celebrated his eighth year this January and has helped shape Air Social into the amazing place it is to work today with his regular team-building outings – and he’s pretty good at writing a quiz too! He truly embodies our core values. Chris joined us at Air Social four years ago with the mission to take over from me as Managing Director and has firmly established himself in that role, guiding us through this record-breaking year. Sophie moved up to Senior Account Manager after excelling in her personal development, receiving great client feedback, and delivering outstanding strategy work for her portfolio of clients.

A few extra shoutouts too –

Anna, our brilliant Creative Director, continues to push boundaries with some of the most outstanding work we’ve ever produced. Only yesterday, I received feedback from a presentation of her new branding, saying, ‘It’s better than we could have wished for’ and ‘You really get us.’ That kind of response sums up the consistent feedback received across all our creative projects.

Jamie continues to drive outstanding lead generation results across our client portfolio, always pushing with fresh ideas and new ways to improve client performance, especially through reporting and data insight.

Welcoming New Clients & Long-Term Partnerships

Our client base has grown significantly, and we’re proud to welcome fantastic new brands, including K2 Corporate Mobility, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Adventure Leisure, The Kennel Club, Crufts, The IVF Network, Dragon’s Den, and multiple council and public health projects, including an exciting rebrand for Spelthorne Borough Council. These new additions join our ever-growing portfolio, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come.

Beyond new partnerships, we also celebrated five-year and ten-year anniversaries with several of our long-standing clients. These relationships are a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional results and acting as a true extension of our clients’ teams.

Our Core Values & What Sets Us Apart

At the heart of everything we do are the values that define Air Social: Passion, Creativity, Collaboration, Intelligence, and Friendship.

We love what we do, and we love who we work with. The connections we build with our clients go beyond business – they turn into lasting partnerships and friendships. With 60% of our team at director level and a minimum of seven years’ experience required to join us, we never compromise on quality or expertise. Our team is built on loyalty, experience, and a genuine drive to achieve the best for our clients.

With an average employee tenure of over five years – and many of us working together for eight years or more – we’ve cultivated a culture of dedication, collaboration, and success. Our award-winning work speaks for itself, including the prestigious Global Social Media Award for our work on Meta.

Looking Ahead to Another Record-Breaking Year

As we step into a new financial year, the momentum continues. We’re excited to welcome two more new team members in March, further strengthening our capabilities and continuing to drive outstanding results for our clients.

Final comment:

“Thank you to our incredible team, our valued clients, and everyone who has been part of Air Social’s journey. Here’s to another year of growth, creativity, and success – with plenty of fun along the way!
