Leadership expert takes top role at digital marketing agency

Digital marketing agency Alphageek Digital has appointed a leadership expert as its new managing director marking the start of an exciting new chapter for the fast-growing business.

The Friar Gate-based business has appointed Tim Brogan to sharpen the company’s strategic focus, strengthen client partnerships and accelerate growth.

Formerly a headteacher and inspector, Tim has held various leadership, executive coaching and mentoring roles and is passionate about turning big ideas into tangible action and helping to develop individuals to the highest level.

The 41-year-old has been in talks with the agency for several years and recently took over the managing director role from co-founder Art Lindop.

While Tim will focus on business development, Art will transition into the role of technical director.

Tim said: “Having spent the last two years really getting to know Alphageek – from their clients to their internal opportunities – I feel well-placed to lead with insight and intent, building on what already makes the company strong.

“Art’s technical expertise and unwavering commitment to client outcomes remain central to our business.

“My focus will be on strengthening our strategic direction, expanding our capabilities and fostering an environment where our team and clients can thrive.

“I joke that I had the world’s longest interview with Alphageek – because I was actually in talks with them for several years. But we waited until the time was right for me personally and for the company.

“Now is that time; we’re perfectly placed for sustainable and manageable growth, while continuing to achieve industry-leading results for our clients.”

Tim was attracted to work with Alphageek because the company’s values aligned with his own.

He was impressed with its staff cooperative scheme – a bonus system which gives staff a quarterly payout based on 10% of the company’s profits.

He was also delighted that staff give up their time to help with projects such as Derby Kids’ Camp.

Tim said: “From the outset I was impressed with Alphageek’s key values, particularly their passion to ‘do the right thing’ and the willingness to contribute to the community.

“The company has always been about values-driven teamwork, and I want to continue building an environment where our people – and our clients – can flourish.

“When talented, committed people come together with shared purpose, great things happen. That culture of trust and collaboration is what will take Alphageek – and our clients – to the next level.”
