The History of Luke Quilter

 

Sleeping Giant Media came about when I was studying a CIM course back when I worked for Holiday Extras. At the time I was working in the Online Advertising section of the business, responsible for quite a lot of digital spend. Due to the amount of spend, I set up a team of 12-ish (it changed a lot) people to manage, optimise and run the online advertising. We worked with a number of agencies and there was always something not quite right with them. They were great at either technical understanding or customer service, but never both.

As part of my project during my CIM course I had to come up with an idea for a business, so thought if someone could create an agency that can understand the technical elements, and apply them in a way that would be effective for the clients and deliver a fantastic customer service at the same time, they would probably do well. That evening we (Ant and I) made the agreement we would start Sleeping Giant Media ourselves.

After nine months of running it in our evenings and weekends, we made the leap. I sold my house, moved back to my parent’s place and Ant and I left full-time employment and headed for the dining room with a laptop, a fist full of determination and a bowl of soup (that’s all we could afford to eat for months).

Over ten years later, we employ over 60 people with our main office in Folkestone, Kent, with a few GIANTs working abroad across Europe. We’re Kent’s leading search and social marketing specialists, winning awards for both our customer service and the digital marketing services we provide. Our workplace culture is award-winning too, and has seen many the PR opportunity over the years. Yes, we have a ballpit and unlimited annual leave. 

As we continue to grow, we still stick to our core purpose of delivering excellent technical skills mixed with amazing customer service. With our mission statement of “delighting our clients by empowering our people”.
