Employer insight: Ketchup Marketing

Ketchup Marketing is a full service marketing agency based in Nottingham. Ketchup joined the Dryden Enterprise Centre (DEC) as commercial tenants in 2021 and participated in NTU Enterprise’s fully funded UpScaler programme.

Since joining the DEC and becoming members of NTU’s enterprise community, Ketchup have experienced impressive growth, increasing resource from 3 to 15 and taking up more space within the DEC as their team developed.

Ketchup joined NTU’s UpScaler programme to take a step back and look at their growth. Beforehand, they were caught up in the business and solving challenges as and when they happened rather than looking forward, forecasting challenges, and preparing for future hurdles on the horizon.

The DEC and UpScaler program provided Ketchup with valuable resources and opportunities to network with other businesses and SMEs, learn new skills and techniques, and overcome some of their growth barriers.

‘’We’ve enjoyed a brilliant 11 months of networking with other businesses and SMEs since we became part of the Dryden Enterprise Community.

‘’You would not believe what effect the DEC has had on our organisation. We have grown from 3 to 15 people, gone through a brand refresh, launched a new website, learned some fantastic things, and met some fabulous people. We hope to keep the ties we have forged with NTU and build on them.”
