On a cool April day, SoBold was founded by our MD Will, offering all things digital to a client base that felt under-served – ranging from social media management to website development. The SoBold dream of high-performance web design was underway!

With a growing client roster, we moved into our first office at The Refinery in Sloane Square. To keep up with increasing demand we employed our first full-time Front-End Web Developer and Graphic Designer. The buzz excited our referral network and we were delighted to take on our first client outside the UK.

As we started to work with more clients, we honed our offering to focus on website development and management. Going niche led to better results, with projects coming in thick and fast – leading to an office move into the City of London near Bank.

Three years in, SoBold was shortlisted for the Young Business of the Year award. Now an established agency, we launched our cloud hosting service which proved a massive success, with customers enjoying friendly service from people they knew. Efficiency also ramped up, with new processes and more streamlined workflows.

With privacy legislation making waves, we became a leading Cookiebot partner, and developed a series of GDPR packages so our clients could feel safe in the knowledge their websites were fully compliant with new data protection regulations.

An ever-growing team meant another move, this time to a larger office in the City of London. We became cybersecurity accredited, a requirement for many of the larger projects we were now pitching for and winning. A solid portfolio of completed projects led to award nominations and plaudits from customers.

January 2020 saw yet another move, this time south of the river near London Bridge with plenty of space for us to grow further – setting us up for the future once again. Within weeks COVID forced a change of workflow to adapt to people working from home – but it all worked out, and we continued working at full throttle for our clients.

With a move back into our office, we were able to resume our hiring spree, engaging even more skilled people. Growth in the development and design teams was needed to help manage the influx of new projects, as well as the introduction of our first Account Manager to smooth delivery.

2022 started with a bang, with the launch of this shiny new site and our brand repositioning. Throughout the year we focused on optimising our processes helping us achieve ISO 9001 certification. We also obtained a Skilled Worker sponsorship license helping us attract the very best international talent.
