Bicester: Sigma thriving at Innovation Centre
Sigma Digital Marketing, which chose Bicester Innovation Centre in January as its head office location, is already recruiting to meet the demand for its innovative digital-marketing and website-design services. The recruiting extends to a number of roles, from trainee digital-media executive through to experienced developers.
Managing director Stefan Wesley said: “We have chosen Bicester Innovation Centre as our head office because the facilities are great, the team is fantastic and the location is easily accessible for our clients.”
Sigma started life four years ago in Dubai and became one of the fastest-growing event-marketing companies in the UAE. Unlike other event companies, it did not outsource digital marketing, but focused on in-house training. This approach reaped such benefits as supporting high-profile events in the Middle East including the Abu Dhabi F1, Dubai World Cup and Rugby Sevens.
Wesley continued: “After the success in Dubai, I decided to bring Sigma home but with a focus on working with sole traders and small businesses which would not normally have had access to professional digital-marketing services.”
Tom Hanney, regional manager for north Oxfordshire of Oxford Innovation which manages Bicester Innovation Centre, said: “Sigma is exactly the type of organisation we like to see at Bicester Innovation Centre.”
