THE husband-and-wife team behind a thriving Scottish digital advertising firm have revealed plans to set up a base in Los Angeles.
Tag Digital, a pay-per-click agency specialising in the global events and publishing sector, was set up in Milngavie in 2011 by Craig and Laura Davidson.
It has offices in Glasgow and London and is on track to post a turnover in excess of £2 million next year, and £6m by 2019 year-end.
The team runs campaigns in 46 countries. With exporting a key part of their growth strategy, several large-scale projects have been secured for next year in New York, Texas, Philadelphia and Dubai.
Tag will conclude 2017 with a scouting mission to California to expand their existing client base in the US west coast and look for premises – and has just been named as one of 20 businesses accepted on to the inaugural Scale Up Scotland programme run by The Hunter Foundation and Entrepreneurial Scotland.
Laura said: “We’re excited with how far the business has come, but this is only the beginning. We’re proud to be listed among a group of promising Scottish entrepreneurs.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
