Oxfordshire: HWYE finalist Zest Digital wins Wirehive 100 award

Zest Digital, whose MD represented the Oxfordshire region at the finals of the 2013 Haines Watts Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition, has been named winner of Wirehive 100’s ‘Fastest Growth’ award.

The Wirehive 100 awards, started in 2012, celebrate the achievements of the south of England’s finest digital marketing agencies outside of London, and are highly regarded within the world of marketing.

Zest Digital works with its clients to increase brand awareness, credibility and leads through digital channels. It provides a multitude of services and avenues of engagement including content marketing, web development, social media and SEO.

This latest award recognises Zest’s considerable achievements as an Oxfordshire start-up since 2010. These include expanding the client base overseas and working with names such as the National Trust and Ocado. Managing director Alex Minchin was also a runner-up for the ‘Young Business Person of the Year’ award in the Oxfordshire Business Awards in June.

Simon Garrett, partner at the Oxford office of Haines Watts and a judge at the HWYE 2013 competition, said: “Congratulations to Zest Digital on this well-deserved win. We are delighted that this talented company has continued to be recognised for its excellent work and look forward to hearing about many more awards for them in the years to come.”

This year’s HWYE finalists are currently being selected and the 2014 finals will be held in Reading on November 5.
