About I-COM
We’re I-COM
A Manchester-based digital marketing agency established in 2005. With a team of around 30 employee-owners, we’ve been employee owned since 2019 - and we’re proud to be one of the founding businesses behind Employee Ownership Community Catalyst.
We built Community Catalyst because we know the value of staying connected within the EO community. Sharing what’s worked (and what hasn’t) helps businesses grow stronger, and it gives people a clearer sense of what employee ownership can look like in practice.
What we do
Our work focuses on digital marketing that drives measurable results. We support businesses across a range of channels, including:
- SEO
- PPC and paid social
- Content and copywriting
- Digital PR
- Web design and development
- Email marketing
We became employee owned because we wanted to make a clear, long-term commitment to the people who make I-COM what it is.
Our employee ownership story
The talents of our people are what make us successful as a business. Historically, we’ve always given back some of our profits by way of bonuses, but the EOT makes this a formal commitment to our people.
In today’s employment market where skilled people are in short supply, giving the team a stake in the company seems like the next logical step to take. We’re sure it will encourage engagement and focus the team on delivering even greater results for our clients.
For us, employee ownership supports the culture we’ve worked hard to build – and it plays a big part in why we’ve developed strong retention, both in our team and across our client relationships.
Ravi Bhalla - Managing Director, I-COM
Teamwork. Improvement. Passion. Creativity. Accountability. Results.
How we work
As a business, we chose a set of values that guide how we work with each other and with clients.
These shape how we collaborate, how we challenge ourselves, and how we stay focused on delivering work we can stand behind.
