What Evoluted does

Evoluted (legal entity: Evoluted New Media Limited) is a UK-based, full-service digital agency headquartered in Sheffield with a London office at 49 Greek Street. Founded in 2006 and operating with an 11-50 headcount band, the firm positions itself as "The People First Ecommerce Agency" and serves primarily ecommerce brands across SMB and enterprise tiers, with named clients including Bauer UK, Green Flag, Sea to Summit, Nightcap Group, Jessica Flinn, CarMats.co.uk, and Supplement Hub. Service delivery is grouped into three pillars: Digital Marketing (technical and ecommerce SEO, content strategy, digital PR, paid media across Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok), Development (Laravel PHP, Statamic CMS, Craft CMS, Shopify, Shopify Plus, API integrations), and Design & UX (web design, UX and accessibility audits, usability testing, prototyping). Evoluted earned B Corp certification in 2024.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional-services engagements (project-based design, development and marketing work), with a recurring Development Retainer layer providing outsourced and retained engineering support. Sales motion is direct: a free 20-minute consultation, a website enquiry funnel, in-person meetings at the Sheffield HQ or London office, and remote video consultations, supplemented by lead generation through owned content (blog, whitepapers), Digital PR, SEO, paid acquisition, and a portfolio of community events (Sheffield DM, Nottingham DM, Manchester DM, Sheffield PHP, UX Sheffield). Customer mix is sector-diversified across retail, automotive, healthcare, hospitality, finance, events, and outdoor goods, with several decade-long client relationships (e.g., Galactic Fireworks, over ten years).

Operationally the firm holds paid-platform partnerships with Shopify, Google, and Meta, technology-integration partnerships with Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn, Channable, Linnworks, and SEOMonitor, and a recognitional partnership with The Drum. Staff retention is reported to be 50% higher than the UK agency industry average, supported by a 20% profit-share scheme and rotating cultural roles including a Diversity & Inclusion Officer. The company has accumulated an unusually dense award portfolio for its size, including UK Search Awards 2023 (Best Large Integrated Search Agency), European Search Awards 2024 (Best Integrated Search Agency), UK Dev Awards 2022-2024 (Employer of the Year, three consecutive years), and UK Agency Awards 2022 (SEO Agency of the Year).
