Our take
Ponderosa Agency is a Leeds-based marketing agency that has been delivering strong results for its clients since 2010. With a broad focus, it’s worked with big-name brands as well as smaller niche-offering companies.
It’s been on quite a journey, too. After merging with Sixteen Hands, Prego and Grapple in 2011, it's gone on to work with Crabbies ginger beer on its UK launch, a TV ad with the Irish rugby club and launching the HiSense FIFA World Cup sponsorship in 2018. It’s high-profile campaigns like these that have maintained Ponderosa Agency’s status as a leading marketing agency in Leeds.
With a string of acquisitions under its belt across e-commerce and market Research in the early 2020s, Ponderosa Agency is continuing its fast pace and steady lead within the UK’s creative agency scene.
