Marketing agency Tecmark in Sportbox swoop

MARKETING agency Tecmark has added Warrington digital sports brand, Sportbox Media to its portfolio.

The Manchester firm said Sportbox Media founder James Gordon would be joining it and continuing to run the unit after the acquisition. Sportbox offers website, content, social media and PR services for the sports industry.

Mr Gordon set up the business four years ago after working with Fast Web Media. Clients include Bets of Mates and Rhino Rugby and it has a six figure turnover.
 
He said: “I’m thrilled about the opportunity to take both Sportbox and myself to the next level with Tecmark. From my first meeting with managing director, Richard, I was excited by Tecmark’s plans and offering. It’s a huge boost for Sportbox to continue operating with Tecmark behind it and I’m looking forward to contributing to Tecmark and its growth.”
 
Tecmark managing director, Richard Heyes, added: “James has already built a great portfolio of clients and we’re looking forward to enhancing that portfolio and offering with Tecmark’s services and resources. James will be a great addition to Tecmark and brings with him a wealth of specialist digital sports knowledge.”
 
Founded in 2008, Tecmark was set up by Richard Heyes and Kevin Jones and is located near Piccadilly Station,  and also has an office in London.
