Rippleffect plans to create jobs - graduate jobs

Graduates may be interested to know that Rippleffect, a digital marketing agency, is planning to create 30 new jobs in the near future.

The Liverpool-based firm, which hopes to double its turnover in the next two years, said the new positions will be created as part of a £2 million investment plan.

The company intends to launch a new office in Manchester, and invest in areas including social media and search marketing.

Founded by Ben Hatton in 1999, the firm offers its services to clients including Arsenal FC, Revolution Bars, Ski Club Great Britain, Arena Leisure and Peel Airports.

Rippleffect managing director Ben Hatton said: "Rippleffect has undergone a major transformation over the past few years, and we're looking to build on its success by investing further in our services and team.

"Over the next two years, our ambitions are to continue with a growth strategy, expand geographically, increase staff numbers to more than 85 and further establish Rippleffect as one of the best agencies in the UK for delivering digital campaigns."

The company, which currently employs more than 50 staff, was acquired by Daily Post parent Trinity Mirror in 2008.

Trinity Mirror's business development director, Mark Dickinson, said: "Digital marketing services have beaten the recession and continue to be an attractive area for us to invest in. The business to consumer marketplace is changing and we are responding to that.

"Rippleffect is a forward-looking business full of talented people, and Trinity Mirror likes investing in businesses like that."
