After meeting with a shortlist of qualified agencies and a final two-way competitive pitch, it was Vega’s potential to take an integrated approach to the partnership that won them the day.

Ken Price adds, “after an intensive search, Vega emerged as by far the best partner to help us achieve our growth plans. Manchester was at the heart of the industrial revolution driven largely by textile production and is today an international hub for fashion, technology, and innovation.

We are therefore delighted to partner with a Manchester-based agency that shares our ambition to spearhead Blake Mill’s global expansion.”

On the partnership, Alexia Harper, Co-Founder of Vega says, “Blake Mill appealed to our core values straight away, a hungry for growth Manchester start up with all right building blocks for success. Vega’s collaborative approach of being part of a client’s boardroom and allowing us to fully integrate into their business meant we quickly found a great fit together.

The growth journey of Blake Mill to date is really impressive, and with fantastic products, an engaged community, their passioned and clear objectives as a brand, we're confident that with our skillset and track record of growing businesses we can help realise their ambitions.’’

The teams will be working together throughout 2024.
