Michelle Jones

Ketchup Marketing, a full-service digital marketing agency based in Nottingham with close ties to Grantham (two directors live in Croxton Kerrial and other employees live in the surrounding area), is celebrating its 15th birthday this month.

Founded by Croxton Kerrial resident and Managing Director Michelle Jones in 2009, Ketchup Marketing has gone from strength to strength. The company has seen 39% growth in the past year, and its first-year turnover is now made in less than seven days.

“Reaching our 15th anniversary is a significant milestone in our journey,” says Michelle. “Our success is thanks to our talented and hardworking team, and our commitment to delivering outstanding work for our clients.” 

Ketchup now offers services including SEO, copywriting, marketing strategy, graphic design and web development, and has a 97% client retention rate, across local and international clients, including Virti, Dufrain and Stamford Stone. 

Locally, Ketchup currently supports the marketing efforts of Croxton Kerrial Sports and Social Club, as well as organisations in Melton Mowbray and the Vale of Belvoir. 

In support of this growth, Ketchup moved from its office in Buckminster, to the south of Grantham, where it had been located for three years, into a new head office in Nottingham city centre’s Creative Quarter last year and joined the city council’s Carbon Neutral 2028 pledge. 

Ketchup continues to strengthen its team with top-tier talent. The latest addition is Luke Jovetic, who joins as Creative Copy Manager, further enhancing its creative capabilities. Luke brings a wealth of experience across a huge range of clients, thanks to previous roles at the likes of Ogilvy PR, Oracle and Wavemaker in the UK and Australia. 

“We’re incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the past 15 years,” says Paul Jones, Sales and Operations Director, who lives in Croxton Kerrial with wife Michelle. “We’re also very excited about the future and look forward to continuing to attract top talent to work across our new and existing clients.” 

Ketchup is expanding its team even further. View roles.
