Established just after the 2010 General Election, Why Media has seen remarkable success over its 14 years, operating exclusively under Conservative governments. Founded by Rowen Squibb during the financial crisis, the marketing agency has flourished despite economic ups and downs.

Rowen Squibb, Director at Why Media, Shares His Thoughts On Government Policies

Why Media started in the aftermath of the credit crunch, with Rowen Squibb aiming to create a dynamic and proactive marketing agency. The company, which also had an office in Kyiv until 2014, now operates across the UK, Spain, and Italy. Despite various challenges, Why Media has maintained continuous growth every year since its inception and has benefited from the expanding digital marketing sector.

However, Why Media noted that government legislation has sometimes hindered rapid growth, with Labour signalling a move towards a smaller government that supports business expansion, there is optimism about future opportunities.

Rowen Squibb, Founder of Why Media, commented, “We’ve experienced consistent double-digit growth and avoided furlough loans, which we would not have accepted anyway. Our outsourced marketing services have thrived in the UK and European markets, and we have an entrepreneurial team culture, and our model operates a 98.8% client retention rate.”

Looking ahead, Why Media and similar companies seek more trust and less tax pressure to invest in technology and skills. High tax rates could limit investment and slow progress in a sector ready for innovation. Companies like Apple and Google, with market caps surpassing the UK economy, highlight the potential of the digital industry.

Reflecting on past policies, Britain's history of innovation, including the development of the internet and electric cars, contrasts with current regulatory challenges. There has been criticism of the previous culture of negativity towards wealth and private education, arguing that supporting private schools can ease the burden on public education.

As the new government begins, there is hope that it will focus on fostering business growth rather than increasing tax burdens. There is a call for a balance between effective regulation and enabling businesses to thrive, suggesting that deregulation could benefit both the economy and government revenue.

In conclusion, Why Media is ready to seize new opportunities and contribute to the country’s success, provided the regulatory environment supports rather than hinders their efforts. The message is clear: for British businesses to excel, they need the freedom and tools to succeed, not excessive regulation.
