We’re excited to share that Outrank was named a finalist for Small Business of the Year at the Tees Tech Awards 2025!
Congratulations to the winners, ServAce, and finalists BearTech, Embeddable and Yellowbox.
Being recognised among the top small businesses in the Tees Valley tech community is a huge honour for us and a brilliant reflection of how far we’ve come as a team and as a company. And if that wasn’t enough, we were also proudly featured on both the Great Place to Work® list and The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025 this year!
Celebrating the Tees Tech Community
The Tees Tech Awards, run by Tees Business in partnership with DigitalCity and Middlesbrough Digital, celebrate the incredible innovation, growth, and talent happening across the Teesside tech sector.
Being shortlisted in the Small Business of the Year category is a real milestone for Outrank and a reminder of the exciting progress we’ve made since we first set out on this journey.
Our Journey: From Local Start-Up to National Digital Agency
Outrank began in Middlesbrough with a clear goal: help businesses stand out and succeed online. Over the years, we’ve grown into a full-service digital marketing agency, delivering expert SEO, PPC, web design, and content services to businesses of all sizes.
We’ve stayed true to our roots while growing our team, developing new services, and pushing ourselves to deliver even better results for our clients.
Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our belief in honest, results-driven marketing that puts people first.
A Workplace Worth Shouting About
While being a finalist at the Tees Tech Awards is a big achievement, we’re equally proud to have been recognised nationally for our company culture.
This year, Outrank was officially named one of the Great Places to Work® and featured on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025 list. These recognitions mean the world to us because they reflect something we care deeply about: creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and inspired.
From flexible working and learning opportunities to mental health support and a culture of collaboration, we’ve worked hard to make Outrank a place where people enjoy coming to work and grow while they’re here – want to work at Outrank?

What’s Next for Outrank?
Being a finalist is just the beginning. We’re more motivated than ever to keep growing, innovating, and delivering amazing work for our clients.
With exciting projects on the horizon and plans to continue expanding, we’re proud to be part of the Tees Valley tech scene and even prouder of the team that’s made it all possible.
