UPDATE: North East creative agency Cargo is marking its 16th anniversary this November with significant advancements and a bold vision for the future. After a transformative year of growth and innovation, Cargo is poised to redefine its role in the creative sector.
Just this April, the agency relocated to a new creative studio at Harbour House, enhancing collaboration and innovation. This move comes as Cargo’s turnover has more than doubled in recent years, a testament to its rapid growth and expanding local client roster, which now includes major players like Lucion Group, NHC Procurement, and the Alan Shearer Foundation. Notably, Cargo’s rebranding efforts for the Foundation have directly contributed to raising an impressive £7 million.
The agency is also proud to announce several strategic new hires, including its first dedicated Client Partner. These additions have strengthened client relationships and improved communication, allowing Cargo to better serve its growing number of clients. Additionally, the launch of a brand-new Cargo website showcases the agency’s commitment to modernity and user engagement.
A key highlight of the past year has been Cargo’s embrace of AI technology. The introduction of an in-house Digital PR service has positioned the agency at the forefront of creative strategy and visibility. According to Paul Hart, Managing Director and Founder of Cargo, “The industry is evolving fast, and we’ve always chosen to adapt rather than resist change. AI is transforming every part of the creative sector, and by learning to use it to our advantage, we’re strengthening what we do best—delivering creative solutions that drive real results.”
Cargo’s commitment to innovation is evident in its ability to blend creativity with effective strategies, ensuring that clients have a clear vision for impactful campaigns. The agency’s resilience during challenging years in the creative sector reflects its dedication to quality and partnership.
Paul Hart emphasizes, “Running your own business is never easy, but our success comes down to creative excellence, technical skill, and genuine partnership with our clients. We’ve built a strong, talented team around those values, and that focus has brought us to where we are today.”
As Cargo celebrates this milestone, the agency is set to continue expanding its influence and capabilities. Clients and industry observers alike are encouraged to watch for upcoming initiatives and innovative projects that promise to elevate Cargo’s already impressive portfolio.
