A digital marketing agency with a growing presence in Edinburgh has been named one of the very best places to work in the UK.
The business won second place in the medium-sized business category of the national Great Place to Work awards.
Outrank, which operates from South Charlotte Street in Edinburgh, as well as its headquarters in Middlesbrough, is now officially one of the top-ranked employers in the country, recognised for its standout workplace culture and rapid growth.
The achievement marks another major step forward for the business, which has expanded quickly in recent years, building teams across multiple locations including the Scotland.
The Great Place to Work awards are widely regarded as the global benchmark for workplace culture, recognising organisations that excel in employee experience, trust and development.
Founder Stephen Robinson said: “We’ve always believed that if you create a great place to work, everything else follows. To be recognised as the 2nd best workplace in the UK is a huge moment for us.
“As we’ve grown, including strengthening our team in Edinburgh, we’ve worked hard to keep that culture at the heart of the business. It’s something we’re incredibly proud of.”
Founded in 2018, Outrank has rapidly scaled its operations and now delivers a full range of digital marketing services, including SEO, website design, PPC, digital PR, social media, branding and email marketing, to thousands of businesses across the UK.
A key part of that growth has been its people-first approach, which focuses on hiring for attitude and potential, as well as experience.
Operations Director Francesca Kosina said: “We don’t just hire to fill roles – we’re always looking for great people who share our mindset. That approach has helped us grow strong teams across all our locations, including Edinburgh.”
The agency has built a reputation for investing in its people, with a focus on wellbeing, collaboration and career development – something reflected in its continued rise through the national rankings.
Head of Culture Lucy Stirman added: “This recognition means a lot because it reflects the environment we’ve created together as a team. We’ve been very intentional about building a culture where people feel supported, valued and able to progress.”
Outrank is among a small number of digital agencies in the UK to achieve a top ranking in the list, underlining both its growth and its commitment to its people.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK, said: “Earning a place on the UK’s Best Workplaces List is a significant achievement. These organisations lead the way in creating high-trust, high-performance cultures where employees can thrive. Congratulations to Outrank on this outstanding result.”
