Trio Media

What Trio Media does

Trio Media, trading as Trio Digital Ltd, is a full-service digital marketing and web design agency headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom. Founded in 2017, the firm operates with a team of 11-50 staff and serves clients ranging from SMEs to enterprise accounts across more than 15 industries, including insurance (Allianz), healthcare (Bupa), consumer goods (Thermos), food/e-commerce (Green Chef/HelloFresh), manufacturing (Roplan), hospitality (Provenance Collection, Stockeld Park), and education (Leeds Conservatoire). The agency holds official partner status with Google, Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn, and is described in its own materials as a "strategic marketing partner" rather than a tactical vendor.

The core service portfolio is organised into two interrelated groups: marketing services (marketing strategy, SEO, AEO/Answer Engine Optimisation, Google Ads, paid social across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Snapchat, copywriting, and branding) and website services (bespoke design and development on WordPress, Shopify, and HTML5 platforms, plus web maintenance and hosting via WP Engine on carbon-neutral Google Cloud). Underlying technology includes Google Analytics, Semrush (used for both SEO and AI visibility tracking), GWI for audience insights, HubSpot, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, and Pardot integrations, and a proprietary "Top 20 Reasons Exercise" strategic framework and a custom multi-channel reporting dashboard.

The business model combines recurring monthly retainers (SEO from £1,900-£10,000/month, Google Ads and paid social from £1,000/month, hosting/maintenance from £100/month) with project-based fees (website builds from £5,990 to £50,000) and one-time branding engagements. Customer acquisition is direct, driven by organic search, referrals, case studies, and platform partner credibility, with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or external investors.
