Advertising Firm of the Year Award

Founder of the Year in Marketing & Advertising

In Jay's own words

I've been running paid ads for 14 years. Not managing accounts from a distance. I've actually been working from the ground up to build campaigns, test creative, and figuring out what works with over £5m in ad spend over the last few years. I co-founded Afloat Digital with Holly because we got tired of seeing small businesses handed to junior account managers after the sales call. When you work with us, you get the people who actually know what they're doing. I work across Meta, Google, TikTok, Reddit, and Microsoft. Mostly with UK small businesses in e-commerce, retail, and lead generation. Here's some of what we've achieved for clients: → 10x average ROAS for a bedroom furniture retailer who've since opened a new flagship store → Scaled a travel brand from £5k to £200k/month in ad spend, generating 300,000+ leads a year → 30x ROI in 3 months for a luxury jewellery brand in Hatton Garden → Helped grow a US insurance business from zero to $500k monthly revenue → Sub-$12 Cscale in one of the most competitive markets going I'm not going to tell you paid media is easy or that results are guaranteed. However, if you're not getting the returns you should be, it's usually fixable. I'm happy to tell you why before you've spent a penny with us.
