Business: Montfort
Based: London
Website: montfort.io
Montfort provides digital, social and content marketing for people who change the world for good. Launched in April 2014, we named the business after the building that we live and work in.
Founded by husband and wife team, Ben Matthews and Jaz Cummins, we’ve set the company up to make the most of our east London home – literally working opposite each other.
A quick tube ride into central London means we can meet clients, but we’ve also targeted the services that we need to take advantage of remote working, including content creation, social media management, monitoring and reporting, campaign audits and even training using tools like Skype.
Montfort’s Mates, our trusted network of remote freelancers, enable us to deliver projects bigger than the two of us could manage on our own, meaning we’ve won bigger clients like HarperCollins and JustGiving – sometimes at budgets that larger agencies would be proud of.
But being a small home-based agency means we can offer our services to smaller brands, including startups and charities. With a trusted network and a set of services that can be completed remotely, we’ve taken the opportunity to travel while running our home-based business. Using sites like Airbnb, we’ve run our office from places as far afield as Seville, Berlin, Delhi and Tokyo. Montfort’s clients don’t mind where we work from because the services we offer and value we deliver meets their needs.
