Forge

Based in Waterford, Ireland, Forge is a small digital marketing team working with growing brands across sectors such as food and coffee, connecting clients with subject matter experts across marketing disciplines rather than keeping all work in-house. The agency positions itself around a network of specialists in website design, SEO, brand identity and paid advertising, aiming to help client businesses outperform competitors online. Case studies referenced on its site include work with a coffee brand, an overnight oats company and a cookie dough brand, indicating a focus on smaller, consumer-facing businesses looking to scale.

The agency describes its approach as connecting clients with experienced specialists in each discipline, aiming to combine strategic marketing planning with website design and brand-building work rather than offering a single, narrow service line.
