Steadfast Collective, a leading UK digital agency specialising in web applications and website development, have today (Thursday 6 July, 2023) announced the acquisition of Lobo Creative, a UX/UI design agency based in Wimborne, Dorset.
The acquisition will ensure Steadfast Collective can expand their creative capabilities and bring a wealth of strategic experience to the existing team, supporting the end-to-end delivery of impactful digital web apps and websites.
Having previously collaborated on over 40 projects in the past three years, the two agencies have now merged and will sit under the Steadfast Collective brand.
Steadfast Collective is recognised as a leader in web application development within the community and membership sectors and as Laravel and Statamic partners, they specialise in creating complex web applications and digital products. The impact-driven approach taken by Steadfast in all their projects has been a major factor in the decision to acquire Lobo Creative. As experts in User Experience Design, high-end delivery of User Interfaces, and a strategic approach to all design decisions, the merger of the two agencies reflects the ongoing drive to create impact for clients, as their service portfolio has now been extended to include UX, UI, branding and other design-led outputs.
Lobo Creative has established a strong reputation in the creative industry, having worked with a range of clients, including APH, Greenpeace and Willys.
As well as the business interests, the team of creative designers and strategists at Lobo Creative will also be joining the now 15-strong team at Steadfast Collective. Founder Jacob Dilley will take on the role of Head of Creative and Clients, overseeing the growth of existing partners, leading the creative team and bringing more than a decade of strategic leadership to the table.
Pete Heslop, CEO of Steadfast Collective and BIMA 100 award-winner for 2023, commented: “We are delighted to bring the Lobo team into Steadfast Collective; with our values, vision and goals aligning it’s the perfect fit. As we look to support and help communities and organisations grow online, we can now offer an end-to-end solution for our clients.”
Jacob Dilley, Founder of Lobo Creative, added: “We’re so pleased to be uniting with the rest of the team at Steadfast. For almost 4 years we’ve worked together to deliver great and impactful digital products for our joint clients, so to do this seamlessly as one is simply going to increase their effectiveness and strength. This is going to be great.”
Established in 2015, Steadfast Collective is based in Romsey with a remote UK team. Their clients include Elemis, Holly Tucker MBE and The National Caravan Council.
