Avante Media.co

Founded in 2019 by Gareth Hopwood, Avante Media is a small paid acquisition agency based in Edinburgh, Scotland, working with a team of one to ten people. The agency was set up after Hopwood spent more than 20 years in sales and marketing and identified a gap in the industry around clear, revenue-linked reporting for business owners and directors. It positions itself around a performance-based approach, aiming to connect marketing spend directly to measurable revenue outcomes for its clients rather than vanity metrics. Services are organised into what the agency calls Acquisition Systems, covering Social Acquisition Systems, Search Acquisition Systems, and an SEO Acquisition System, alongside broader search engine optimization, social media marketing, and pay-per-click activity. Offerings listed for enquiries include free audits, email and SMS campaigns, social media advertising, search paid advertising, and SEO. The agency describes using AI-enhanced processes within its paid acquisition systems, with a stated focus on tracking the true revenue return from each source of inbound enquiry so that decisions on channel spend and strategy can be tied back to that data. Client work is documented through published case studies, and initial engagement is handled through direct contact to scope requirements before selecting a relevant service track.
