Urban Media

What Urban Media does

Urban Media is a UK-based, full-service digital marketing agency incorporated as Urban Media UK Ltd and headquartered in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, with a second office opened in King's Lynn, Norfolk in early 2025. Founded in 1997 by Elton Boocock, the firm operates with 11-50 employees and primarily serves UK small and mid-sized businesses, with a documented specialisation in the glazing, window, and door industry where it markets itself as a vertical-specific agency.

The company's core offerings span two tracks. The websites track covers bespoke design and development, WordPress-optimised hosting (Standard £400/year to Premium £1,500/year), conversion rate optimisation (Bronze £240/month to Gold £720/month), ecommerce builds on Shopify or WooCommerce, starter template sites (£995-£1,240+VAT), and ongoing maintenance plans (£80-£280/month). The marketing track covers SEO, managed Google Ads (Search, Display, Video, Shopping, Remarketing) under Google Partner status, social media across Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, GDPR-compliant email marketing through MailChimp and ActiveCampaign, and tiered Zapier-based business automation services (Level 1 £90 to Level 3 £360, with a £120 consultation fee). Tech platforms used include WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow, and Framer, with Elementor as page builder.

Revenue mechanics mix one-off project fees (50% deposit, balance on completion) with monthly rolling subscription contracts for hosting, maintenance, marketing, CRO, and automation, and no long-term lock-in. Distribution is purely direct through its own website, phone numbers at both offices, and face-to-face consultations, with no channel partners or resellers. Customer concentration is spread across multiple named SMBs in glazing, health & fitness, marine, automotive, consultancy, home improvements, and consumer products, with a documented partnership-style relationship with Business Pilot CRM (founded by Boocock) that includes a 20% automation services discount for Business Pilot customers.
