Founded in 2014 by Will Newland, SoBold was set up to challenge the norms of traditional agencies and how they support clients.
Over the past decade our services have evolved with our partners. We’ve won awards with those partners, helped them acquire new customers, and even supported their fundraising rounds.
SoBold's journey so far...
Our mission is to give B2Bs greater control over their websites so they can scale their business.

Focusing our service offering
Honing in on a niche
