For this part of our Partners series, we caught up with Ben Sanson of Stockton-based brand consultants and design agency, Squegg.
We at Tad Web Solutions work closely with the local company on a number of projects. This includes our very own recent rebrand. We’ve had a great response so far, with great credit given to Squegg.
Squegg are a brand agency from the North East of England, with locations in Stockton-on-Tees and North Yorkshire. Owned and operated by Creative Director, Ben Sanson, Squegg specialise in raising the perception of your brand. They help improve performance and increase profits through successful branding, graphic design and print management.
Furthermore,
Ben Sanson also operates as an interim creative director, where he works closely with your team, in your business, offering his creative skill set.
Speaking with Ben, he explains that the company “help build and establish your brand to attract and retain customers, ensuring you differentiate yourself from the competition.”, which is something we at Tad Web Solutions can certainly vouch for.
We work with a variety of clients, ranging from sole traders to SME’s to large privately owned businesses, as well as with other creative and marketing agencies on a project basis.
Not only do the design agency claim to be a great Teesside design agency, they can also back it up.
Squegg’s design was strong and creative and the whole package of branding and marketing was more than I could have hoped for. If you are rebranding or know someone that is over due a business facelift then I would not look past Squegg. – Russell Sawdon, BNI Durham & Teesside
I would recommend Squegg as an agency who are not only creative geniuses, but as an agency who are prepared to go the extra mile to keep their customers happy. – Catherine Scott, Catherine Scott Tax Consultancy
Our team often collaborate on a number of projects. These can consist of working with startups to deliver a branding package and accompanying web solution, to designing detailed wireframes and user interfaces (UI) for the websites and online software that we then develop for clients.

This is a first in a series of posts we at Tad Web Solutions will be publishing around our working partners. We pride ourselves on transparency and quality, therefore we select our local partners very carefully. It’s because of the strong working relationships that we build, we’re able to provide turnkey solutions to our clients, all managed by Tad Web Solutions.
Mabo Media are a Google Premier Partner and a company that specialise in Pay-Per-Click (PPC) marketing with two offices in Teesside, one in Middlesbrough and one in Guisborough. The team at Mabo form one of the UK’s leading providers of paid search and PPC management and are experts at what they do. Their case studies speak for themselves.
The company mission? Simple.
We’re proud northerners looking to dominate the UK’s PPC industry.
We’ve had the pleasure to collaborate with team Mabo on a number of projects, with one of our most recent projects being the design of their own company website. We consistently find their team a pleasure to work with, and by both having offices in the same building – Boho Five in Middlesbrough – we’re able to easily collaborate and work on solving client problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.
For this post, we spoke with Mabo Media’s Founder and Managing Director, Lee Mableson.
At Mabo Media, we specialise in paid search management across all major search engines, social media platforms and comparison search sites. The service we deliver is designed to yield the greatest return for our advertisers spend. We do this with years of combined experience and knowledge, purpose built tools, automation and a genuine want to make a difference for the clients we represent. We work predominantly with national eCommerce businesses as this is where our real value is felt but of course also manage lead generation-based paid search campaigns.
Since forming in 2013, the firm have gone on to work with industry leaders. Clients include those in the interior design, automotive and fashion and retail sectors. Their work with leading online tyres company, CarTyres.com, yielded a 3000% increase in transactions, with 1500% traffic growth. Seriously impressive.
Their work with the company gained them the following review from CarTyres M.D. Chris Grant:
I cannot recommend them [Mabo Media] highly enough. The Mabo approach to PPC channels is intuitive and graft based, never any short cuts and never any auto bids or usual excuses from an Agency pertaining to be the best “Google partners” etc etc…
I trust them with > £1m budget – I don’t do it without careful consideration, and have never been let down.
But that’s not all. You can read more rave reviews on Mabo via Reviews.co.uk.

This is the beginning of a series of posts to form an apprentice blog from James on his experience and his progress as a level 2 apprentice as part of the web design team at Tad Web Solutions. James is based in our Teesside office and is working towards a qualification whilst also gaining valuable work-based experience.
I joined the team through an apprentice employment program ran by optimum Skills on the 25th of July as an apprentice after doing some small work on databases and took on a role as part of the design team.
In my time working here I have improved my skills in all aspects of web design. I have been learning to use different languages depending on what the clients wants and needs are and this has helped me improve my efficiency and functionality in this line of work. I also bring the physical aspect of I.T to the work place as I previously built and preformed maintenance on PCs and have a natural talent for all things tech, I believe, as I am new to this kind of work I can provide a fresh and new perspective to the way we design.
As my time here grows longer I hope to become more capable of creating and implementing different techniques into my work so that the quality of my work becomes greater, which includes creating my own assets to be used in the sites so that no two websites are alike.
In the 2 months I have already worked here I have learned to use HTML, PHP and CSS, which are the main languages that our websites are made in, and hope to add a plethora of new languages to that list to improve what I can and can’t do as at the moment I am limited to what I can produce. In the future I would like to be able to create apps and different pieces of software.
I hope that my time here sees me to learn more about this line of work and give me the experience I need to become a main role in the team and take on bigger projects.
Since forming in 2011, it’s safe to say that we’ve remained very attached to our ‘Mouse and Globe’ logo. It’s one of the few things that have remained a constant throughout the last five years. We’ve refined and improved services, welcomed new staff and moved offices, but the Globe has always been the same. That is, until now.
