Further growth for the leading marketing agency in the Highlands

The merger of two of the Highlands’ leading marketing and web agencies strengthens the position of the Highlands as a source of high-quality business services in tune with the needs of clients across the North of Scotland and beyond. 

Two of the leading marketing agencies in the Highlands have joined forces. Yellow Cherry and hi.create are both well-known agencies in the North offering a full range of marketing and web services. With over 500 websites created, the combined reach of Yellow Cherry and hi.create is already significant, with a client base stretching from Shetland to London.

The merger underlines the strength of the Highlands as a source of marketing services for organisations of all sizes. Being based in Inverness is vital to the success and continued growth of the company. Yellow Cherry Managing Director, Sarah Francis, confirms that it’s a conscious choice with clear benefits:

“We’re right in the centre of the Highlands, and readily accessible to clients from all over Scotland and the UK. Our location in the Highland Capital is an attractive proposition for exceptional new talent as we continue to expand, and the chance to work with a range of clients who have exciting projects and ambitions. With more clients now joining us, we’re looking forward to supporting even more businesses and organisations in the North as they grow.”

The merger is a logical move for Graham Smith, who has led the process for hi.create and sees clear advantages for the loyal client base the agency has built.

“hi.create and Yellow Cherry have always provided similar services to clients, and have always had the same approach to customer service and commitment. The Yellow Cherry team will be able to deliver all the services that hi.create clients expect, and also bring some new exciting options for marketing support.”

Based in Inverness, Yellow Cherry is a creative marketing agency offering a range of services to clients across the UK, creating and delivering strategies that build audiences and generate income and engagement. Founded in 2009, the company has grown consistently and is now a leading agency for marketing services in the North of Scotland and beyond.

hi.create was set up in 2017 to build on 10 years of freelance work with clients across the Highlands. The company expanded rapidly up to 2021, adding branding and copywriting services to provide all aspects of marketing support through a team of six. In 2022 it becomes part of Yellow Cherry, further strengthening support for existing clients and creating exciting new opportunities for growth.
