Attract & Engage Named in Essex Tech 50 – 2026
We’re proud to share that Attract & Engage has been named in the Essex Tech 50 2026 – a county-wide initiative recognising the most innovative, ambitious and high-growth tech related businesses.
Selected from hundreds of companies, the Tech 50 celebrates organisations that are driving growth, creating jobs and pushing boundaries across Essex’s thriving tech ecosystem.
For us, this recognition reflects the progress we’ve made, the strength of our team, and our commitment to developing an agency model perfectly adapted to helping ambitious B2B firms attract the right audience, engage buyers earlier, and ultimately sell better.
Why this recognition matters
There’s a common challenge we see across the businesses we work with.
Marketing is often fragmented – different channels, different messages, and little connection to commercial outcomes. Activity is happening, but it’s not always translating into pipeline.
That’s exactly what our model is designed to solve.
.
As a fractional marketing partner, we align brand, content and performance around what matters to the Board: contracts won, enquiries generated and reputation strengthened.
Being named in the Essex Tech 50 is recognition of that approach – joined-up, commercially focused marketing that supports real business growth.
What’s driven this recognition
2025 was a landmark year for Attract & Engage.
We’ve continued to deepen our work with ambitious B2B firms across construction, tech, engineering, manufacturing and professional services – delivering integrated campaigns that combine strategy, PR, digital, design, content and performance.
Highlights include:
- Recognition as one of the UK’s top three boutique marketing agencies in the built environment -at the Construction Marketing Awards
- Delivering integrated campaigns for firms including Ground Control, TP Group, Joseph Gallagher and Ortus Energy
- Turning major business moments into national exposure, including coverage in The Times and The Sunday Times
- Building scalable content engines across video, search, LinkedIn and PR
- Expanding our role within the Essex business community and wider ecosystem
Essex: a serious base for ambitious businesses
This recognition also reflects something bigger than us.
Essex isn’t ‘up and coming’. It’s producing serious, high-impact businesses that are scaling, innovating and delivering real-world results.
We’re proud to be recognised alongside so many friends and collaborators in this year’s Tech 50.
Congratulations to:
- KleanDrive, Made in Essex podcast guests, whose collaboration with Welch Group has seen them convert HGV fleets into electric vehicles using a state-of-the-art, plug-and-play e-drivetrain system – a powerful example of practical innovation driving decarbonisation.
- Octopus Networks, a great friend of ours – UK technology and managed services provider supporting organisations with the infrastructure and expertise needed to scale securely and efficiently.
- Concurrent Technologies, one of our clients, recognised for exceptional business success. In the last year alone, Concurrent has doubled its market value to £200m, becoming the fastest-growing tech firm on the London Stock Exchange, while increasing its workforce by 80% over four years and continuing to invest in its Essex base. Hear from CEO Miles Adcock on Made in Essex.
- Leonardo, fellow Basildon Business Leaders Executive Board members and world-renowned specialists in aerospace, defence and security technology – demonstrating the global capability rooted here in Essex.
This is what makes the Essex ecosystem so compelling.
A combination of:
- High-growth scale-ups
- Deep technical and industrial expertise
- Global leaders operating alongside ambitious SMEs
All within a region that is well connected, commercially focused and increasingly attracting investment.
For the businesses we work with, that creates real opportunity – access to talent, collaboration and growth.
What’s next?
Recognition is important – but only if it leads to continued progress.
In 2026, we’re focused on building on this momentum:
- Developing more targeted approaches to reach decision-makers earlier
- Strengthening alignment between marketing and sales
- Delivering clearer, more commercial reporting
- Continuing to build integrated marketing systems that drive measurable growth
Our aim remains the same: to help ambitious B2B firms stand out, build authority and convert demand more effectively.
