8 October 2024

Hold onto your B2B hats – we’ve got huge news to share.

Don’t be Shy has officially joined the Lesniak Swann family!

Lesniak Swann’s acquisition of Don’t be Shy means that their proven strategic, creative and PR expertise is now backed by our deep digital know-how. It’s a match made in marketing heaven.

At Don’t be Shy, we’ve always been about pushing the boundaries of B2B marketing, especially when it comes to using tech to drive results. From performance campaigns to marketing automation, we’ve delivered innovative, imaginative work for clients such as M&S, Uber for Business and TalkTalk Business.

We like to think we’ve played a role in B2B becoming a little less stuffy and predictable in recent years. We’ve even picked up a few awards along the way – including being named The Drum’s B2B Agency of the Year.

And now, as part of Lesniak Swann, we’re going to be taking things up a notch. Lesniak Swann’s MD, Alex Swann, summed up the opportunity:

“The Don’t be Shy team has a great reputation in the B2B space, particularly for how they combine a strategic approach with technological expertise. We felt it was a natural step to bring them on board."

Lesniak Swann has been on a serious growth streak – and they’re not slowing down anytime soon.

“The last few years have seen rapid growth for the business,” says Alex. “We’re expecting a double-digit increase in revenues this year too. The greater range and quality of services we can now provide in-house positions us for further expansion, as we close in on our next target of £5m annual net revenue.

“Alongside the digital capabilities bringing Don’t be Shy on board offers us, their location in Manchester’s Northern Quarter also provides us with a great base for further expansion – particularly as we look to bring the enviable track record Lesniak Swann has for highly creative, commercially focused B2B campaigns to sectors such as tech and telecoms.”

We’re buzzing with excitement about this next chapter for Don’t be Shy. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for us as part of Lesniak Swann.

Expect big, bold, B2B-shaped things.
