ABOUT US / SEO, LEAD GEN, DESIGN

Connecting customers to your business

Founded by Glenn Stevens after having been instrumental in the successful growth of a heritage UK lifestyle brand, Made By Ernie is a culmination of many years of experience, hard work, learning, testing, and developing. Deciding to take his diverse skillset and knowledge base, and create a dedicated micro agency, Made By Ernie was born.

What makes us different? Each project is analysed and strategised in a completely bespoke and individual way to ensure that we focus on the precise needs of that particular project and on the goals of that particular client. No 2 projects are the same, so why treat them as such?

We place focus on our clients, maintaining honesty and transparency throughout our partnership. We ensure that our work does not just "look pretty" but also, more importantly, serves a commercial purpose for the business goals of our clients.

We are lucky enough to have had the pleasure of working and partnering with some incredible, loyal clients and very much look forward to partnering with many more over the coming years.

Let's start a project together:
