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.
Employee ownership trust
EOT
When you work with Favoured, you’re not just hiring another agency. You’re partnering with a team of people who literally own the place. As an employee-owned company, everyone here has skin in the game – and that changes everything.
What does this mean for you?
We genuinely believe that happy, invested team members create work that doesn’t just meet expectations – it smashes them, getting superior outcomes for our clients.
Enhanced commitment: Our team members aren’t just employees; they’re owners who are personally invested in delivering exceptional results.
Long-term relationships: With reduced staff turnover and a focus on sustainable growth, we build lasting partnerships with our clients.
Collaborative excellence: Our structure encourages innovation, shared knowledge, and a culture where everyone’s voice matters.
Aligned interests: Our success is directly tied to your success, creating a true partnership focused on achieving your goals.
