A Derbyshire creative agency, which has grown from a two-man start-up with zero assets to a £2m- turnover company employing 30 full-time members of staff, is celebrating its first decade in business. Chamber strategic partner


Purpose Media started life as a web development agency, based in the Mansfield i-Centre, by founding directors Matt Wheatcroft and Tim Lenton, after they left their jobs with a funding organisation when their contracts came to an end. They were joined on day one by


Matt’s wife, Sam and, initially, set about establishing a lifestyle business which would replicate their former salaries.

without the hard work, commitment and dedication of the whole team here at Purpose Media, and to all the amazing businesses that we have worked with over the years. “Our future is as a highly-


creative boutique agency that works in collaboration with our clients as an extension to their team, or as a complete outsourced marketing department, to help them achieve more.”
