Our Story

From Two Founders to an Employee-Owned Agency

Favoured kicked off in 2019 when George Sharpe, fresh from his Apple days, and Andy Willers, with BBC expertise tucked under his belt, decided that the digital marketing world needed a serious shake-up. Their mission? Create a digital marketing agency that truly delivers on its promises.

What started as a two-person operation has evolved into a powerhouse team of specialists. Our journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but our commitment to cutting through the digital nonsense and delivering genuine results has never wavered.

In 2025, we took a bold step forward by becoming an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), putting the future of Favoured directly in the hands of those who make it special – our team. This transition wasn’t just a business decision; it was a statement about our values and our commitment to long-term success.

Recognition of our work

Our approach has earned recognition across the industry, but our greatest achievement is the trust our clients place in us. Here’s what they have to say:

Andy Willers

Co-Founder

“As Co-Founder, I spend my time shaping strategies, supporting the team, and keeping our creative and performance work aligned so we can smash things for our clients. With a background in creative production and broadcast TV, I love helping clients scale in smart, sustainable ways. One of my favourite memories was the first international team trip to Majorca – sun, sea and some great memories with the team. Thats the best part of Favoured – the people – talented, curious, and always up for pushing boundaries.”

Dave Thomas

Senior Motion Designer

“Hi, I’m Dave, Senior Motion Designer at Favoured. I spend my days bringing ideas to life through animation, whether it’s slick brand intros, eye-catching ads, or weird little transitions that make people go “oooh.” When I’m not keyframing my way through the day, I’m probably sipping a good beer, experimenting with VFX, or getting way too deep into a new plugin just for the fun of it. I’ve always believed great motion design should feel as good as it looks—and working with the team at Favoured makes that easy. They’re the kind of people who’ll hype up your work, laugh at your dumb Dad jokes, and maybe even let you sneak a beer into a team call (unofficially, of course).”

Tayyar Arisoy

PPC Executive

“As a PPC Executive at Favoured, my day revolves around crafting and refining Google Ads strategies, ensuring every campaign is optimised to deliver real results for our clients. One of my favourite memories has to be our Secret Santa during the Christmas trip—let’s just say, we weren’t exactly subtle and most of us knew who had who! What I love most about working here is the flexibility of remote work and the always-positive energy in our virtual office, Kumo. It genuinely feels like a team that vibes.”

Jacob Lambert

Media Buyer

“I’m a Paid Social Media Buyer at Favoured, which means I spend my time building creative strategies and tweaking campaigns to get the best results. One of my favourite memories has to be our Christmas party—suited, booted and (some of us) failing at cocktail-making! What makes Favoured special is the team vibe—we work hard, but we know how to have fun too, whether it’s team trips or just a good laugh during the day.”

Anna Poehlman

Digital Designer

“Hi there, I’m Anna. As a digital designer at Favoured, I juggle any and all of our clients’ visual needs. I love digging into any creative challenge, and I particularly enjoy brand, packaging, and merch design. I’m a Wisconsinite living in Scotland (go Bucks!), but I feel right at home with the Favoured team; the only con of working remotely is not getting to see them every day. My favourite team trip memory is winning our bake off with Rose, Polly, and Danielle (turns out we can design cakes too!).”

Mia Hagan

Digital Marketing Manager

“As a Digital Marketing Manager at Favoured, my daily life involves overseeing our clients’ organic social media, creating content, scheduling posts, and helping with email campaigns. I also connect with influencers to find the perfect partnerships for our clients. I love the flexibility of working from home, which allows me to balance my work and personal life while working with a fantastic team dedicated to creativity and growth.”

Beth Weston

Digital Marketing Manager

“As a digital marketing manager at Favoured, I focus on engagement and retention, finding smart ways to keep users and customers coming back! One of my favourite memories was heading to a TikTok event with GG and Nigel, where they gave a talk about all our great work on the platform. I love the flexibility of WFH, and you’ll often find me on a Friday afternoon working from my favourite coffee shop. Our Kumo office setup is a personal fave too, who knew virtual offices could be so cute?”

Danielle Huddlestan

Head of Operations

“As Head of Operations (and former copywriter who still can’t resist a good branding project), I’m the one making sure Favoured runs like a well-oiled machine. From implementing new processes to supporting our incredible team, I wear many hats and every day brings a fresh challenge to tackle. My favourite memory was our first-ever team trip – especially the team Come Dine With Me! I feel like at Favoured we’ve got something unique; genuine friendships with hard work and that’s what makes this a great place to be.”

Sonam Sherpa

Head of Performance

“I’m Sonam, my current role is Head of Performance at Favoured however I have worn many hats over the years within the agency across multiple departments. I’ve been with the agency for a while now, all the way back to when George and Andy first started it. It’s been wild to see it grow to where we are today. I am grateful to have been a key part of our growth so far and I hope I can continue to deliver value to our amazing team and ultimately our clients.”

Rose Skews

Account Manager

“Hey! I’m Rose, One of the Account Managers at Favoured, I’ve also worked at Favoured as a Copywriter and have been a part of the Engagement, Conversion and Retention Team – so I’ve been around! My job as an Account Manager is to manage client relationships and build creative strategies. With clients like concierge apps and mindfulness apps to mattress toppers and SME banks – you never know what is around the corner! Fun fact: I won a bake off competition alongside Danielle, Anna and Polly – we recreated Danielle’s pup “Pickle” It was a masterpiece and rather delicious. With such a brilliant team at Favoured I feel very lucky to be a part of it.”

Louise Sharp

Digital Marketing Manager

“Hiiiii ✨I’m Louise – a Digital Marketing Manager at Favoured. I spend my day working my magic to engage, convert and retain your customers. From upping your email revenue to understanding why your customers keep abandoning their cart, I’m your gal! A key Favoured moment for me has to be the first time we all went abroad as a team to Majorca. It was such a fun trip even though I refuse to step foot on a boat now… (book a call to find out what happened there 💅). With Favoured, what you see is what you get – a bunch of the most talented, funniest, kindest people I’ve ever met, and the reason why I love this job.”

Sam Battles

Account Director

“I’m Sam one of the Account directors at Favoured. I spend my time at work thinking about how we can improve what we deliver for our clients and how we can get them maximum results! I’ve been at Favoured for 3 years and before that I was a client of theirs! As we are remote when we do meet up we make a big deal of it and have the best time. One of the best things about working at Favoured is that everyone has your back. We are a great team.”

Claudia Van der Hulst

Senior Digital Designer

“As the Senior Digital Designer at Favoured, I’m usually juggling web, graphic, and brand design, making designs that click and get clicks. I’m a Kiwi (not the bird or the fruit). One of the best things about working here is how we stay connected as a remote team. We always share what we’re working on, and it’s a great way to stay in the loop. Like the time Polly accidentally broke her bed filming UGC (yes, really). I love working with this group of legends, and the team is what really makes Favoured what it is. Never a dull moment!”

Polly Craig

Account Executive

“I’m Polly, and I’m a bit of a multitasker at Favoured – Account Executive, managing Influencer partnerships and creating a lot of UGC content. My days are filled with emails, filming TikToks, managing client projects, and even more emails. A couple of highlights since joining include flying to Malta for a team trip boat party just a week in, and breaking my bed mid-UGC shoot – just another day at the office! I’m super grateful to work with such a talented group of people who work hard, support each other, and manage to have a lot of fun in the process.”

Jess Lever

Account Manager

“I’m Jess, an Account Manager here at Favoured. My days are filled with connecting with clients, organising projects, and finding creative solutions. One of my best memories is my first trip to meet the team in Barcelona. It turns out they weren’t so scary after all! I love working here because every day brings great banter and a super supportive team, making them feel like a second family! Outside of Favoured, I’m rather active. I horse ride regularly, learning the basics of dressage, along with hitting the gym and plenty of walks!”

Amelia Metcalfe

Account Executive

“I’m an Account Executive at Favoured, which means I keep projects moving, clients updated, and coordinate with the team to make sure we’re meeting targets and delivering quality work. One of my favourite weekly moments is our Friday afternoon Chill n’ Chinwag — a chance for the whole team to unwind, catch up, and play games like ‘guess the drawing’. It somehow always turns competitive in the funniest way possible. Even though we work remotely, there’s a real sense of connection and energy here. It’s the mix of collaboration, support, and good vibes that really sets Favoured apart.”

Momina Ilyas

Account Manager

“Hey, I’m Momina (but everyone calls me Mo)! I’m an Account Manager here at Favoured, keeping everything ticking from strategy to reporting and all things client comms. With 7+ years in marketing from Australia to Dubai I’ve seen a lot, but nothing beats working with this remote dream team. Funniest (or most tragic?) memory: getting severe seasickness on our surprise team boat trip… let’s just say I won’t be booking a cruise anytime soon, but I will be remembered. Every day here brings fresh challenges, creative wins, and seriously unmatched vibes.”
