There’s no stopping Enable Interactive, ranked the UK’s No. 1 digital agency earlier
this year, the Bristol based agency has gone from strength to strength since it 
was co founded in 2003 by Matt Connolly and Darius Pocha. Winning major contracts
against stiff competition from digital ‘super-agencies’ Enable’s profile has risen
dramatically in 2008 with cutting-edge work for global brands like BBC, WWF, Microsoft
and British Red Cross. As a result of recent client successes the agency has made
a strategic decision to focus on three key markets namely sport, fashion and charities.

“The agency was in the perfect position for us to re think its future direction.
With experience gained on brands like Speedo, Lipsy and Commes des Garcons and the
audience and commercial insight we’ve developed, it made sense for us to concentrate
our expertise and ensure we’re the agency of choice for brands in these sectors.”
said Matt Connolly Strategy Director.

The agency’s work for leading charities includes Breast Cancer Care, War Child and
British Red Cross. Recent wins mean that this impressive list now also boasts Greenpeace
and Ireland’s biggest charity Concern Worldwide.

“It’s an extremely exciting time for us. It’s the innovation that’s propelling Enable
forward – with the right people, the smartest industry thinking and a ruthless focus
on quality, our clients are getting outstanding results time and time again.” Said
Connolly

“With the significant increase in buzz surrounding Enable the agency now stands 
at 20 staff. Both Connolly and Pocha, both of whom came together from much larger
London agencies have a hands-on approach to agency life and retain positions of 
strategy director and creative director respectively. ‘Everyone here is a specialist
in what they do – our clients never have anyone mediocre working on their projects.
We do things differently to traditional agencies – we encourage our people to have
a life outside their jobs. That way the stay interesting and enthusiastic and have
more value than the normal agency burn-outs working 25 hours a day. It’s partly 
these qualities that we feel makes the agency attractive to clients” commented Pocha,

Recent senior appointments include Amanda Milton previously Production Director 
at Carlson Marketing, Natasha McKenzie, previously at M&C Saatchi, Fergus Roche 
from Conchango and Lastminute.com, and Ben Akin-Smith co-founder of Add Momentum.

“Enable has been at the forefront of digital innovation for nearly 5 years now and
is well positioned for continued future success. We are proof that the traditional
agency model can change. For the better. We have incredible clients; we deliver 
great, innovative work that we’re all proud of and often we’re working with brands
who make the world a better place” concludes Connolly
