5th Anniversary of #SBS win!

Share This Post

5 years since the business won #SBS on the 16th October 2011 and the anniversary lands on a Sunday this year.

What a ride it's been too. From being lucky enough to do some small projects for Ryman Stationery, going for a day at Media City UK and seeing a pitch filmed at Dragons Den with a fellow Cheshire winner.

The social media boost, which to be honest has been epic. @AquaDesignGroup was at 1,200 followers, that got boosted by 500 in the first week after winning and has grown to over 17,000. With the introduction of other accounts for the business that's now over 35,000. Not huge but it's utilised to promote fellow winners through #SBS and now #shopsbs. It's amazing how far a retweet can go.

Looking forward to seeing you all and catching up at the next event.
