Manchester social media firm KOMI hires dozens of staff and takes new office space after hitting 拢1m turnover landmark

Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, the firm has won major contracts with brands including SWAN, Mars Pets and The Flava People

A Manchester-headquartered social media marketing company says its turnover hit £1m for the first time in the last year - and that it's in the process of recruiting dozens of staff.

KOMI group hopes to double the £1m figure over the next 12 months, and said that after growing its headcount from seven to 30 people over the last year, it will increase the figure to 45 by the middle of 2021.

Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, KOMI has won major contracts with brands including SWAN, Mars Pets and The Flava People. 

It has also committed to take out additional office space at its base in Beehive Mill, Ancoats.

Andrew Trotman, managing director, said: “Despite tough market conditions, it’s fantastic that we’ve collectively achieved these results. The whole team has worked incredibly hard to develop our portfolio, which has been driven by a diversification strategy that is targeting our brands across different platforms. That approach has resulted in growing our Go Fetch TikTok followers to five million and our gaming page on Facebook to 1m.

"The next year is shaping up to be our best ever. Social media has become so important during the coronavirus crisis so we are committed to delivering high quality content to our followers and commercial value to the clients we work with.”

The news follows its rebrand from It’s Gone Viral and restructure earlier this year, which saw it become a three divisional agency business consisting of dedicated social media, marketing and licensing teams.
