A GROWING marketing agency is celebrating after being shortlisted for a national award.

Rebellion Marketing has been shortlisted in the South East England B2B Services StartUp Category at this year’s StartUp Awards National Series.

The Fareham-based company, headed by Jade Scotney, vied against 2,500 applicants to make the shortlist of the inaugural awards.

Jade founded Rebellion Marketing and has grown her company during the last three years.

She has taken the team from just the founders to nine staff, doubling her client base and more than tripling her turnover – and even launching her own online social media scheduling platform.

Jade said: "Building a business is hard at the best of times, never mind throughout lockdown, but with hard work, determination and persistency, we’ve managed to not just survive, but thrive, and I’m delighted to be shortlisted for this award as it demonstrates our tenacity and recognises our hard work.

"The team has been a huge part of the growth of Rebellion and without them this wouldn’t have been possible. Fingers crossed we’ll be winners at the end of it."
