Hallam

European agency combining brand & performance marketing—SEO, PPC, content & analytics—for SaaS growth.

What does Hallam do?

Hallam is a digital marketing agency in Nottingham, UK, that combines brand and performance marketing for B2B companies. Its website trades under the hallam.agency address and says its aim is to make clients distinctive enough to be remembered, visible enough to be found and measurable enough to keep the finance team happy.

The services on its site cover most of the marketing mix:

  • Paid media: PPC, paid social and programmatic advertising
  • Organic: SEO and what it calls Total Search, AI search, content marketing and digital PR
  • Brand and creative: brand strategy, creative campaigns and design
  • Web and experience: website design and optimization, and conversion rate optimization
  • Data and strategy: data and analytics, strategy and transformation, and training and in-housing

Who does Hallam work with?

Hallam’s website lists eight sectors, including SaaS, education, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, ecommerce and retail, industrial services and non-profit. SaaS is one sector among several, so the agency brings experience from outside software too.

Its profile with us tags it for B2B SaaS, software, healthtech and edtech. It suits a SaaS company that wants paid, organic, content and analytics under one roof.

How does Hallam work?

Hallam says it was founded in 1998 and describes itself as 100% employee owned. Its site also says it is B Corp-certified.

Training and in-housing appear as a service, which suggests it will help a client build skills in its own team as well as run channels for it. Specialists in SEO, paid media, content and analytics sit in the same agency, so plans can draw on more than one channel.

What results does Hallam’s website point to?

Hallam lists awards rather than headline numbers on the pages we read. Its badges include the UK Company Culture Awards 2024, a Marketing Week Campaign of the Year award in 2024 and a Global Search Awards 2024 win. It publishes case studies on its website, but none were named on the pages we read.

What to ask Hallam before you hire them

  • Which of your case studies are for SaaS companies, and what did you change for them?
  • Who would be on our team, and which specialists would we speak to each month?
  • What does Total Search mean in practice, and how does it cover AI search?
  • How would training and in-housing work if we want to take channels back later?

Our review by service

SEO

Hallam is a Nottingham-based full-service digital agency with an established SEO practice for B2B SaaS and technology companies. Their SEO team works alongside paid media, content, and analytics specialists within the same agency, which means organic strategy is informed by what paid campaigns are learning about buyer intent and what analytics data says about which organic traffic is actually contributing to pipeline. The integration prevents the siloed thinking that often produces SEO programs optimized for traffic rather than commercial outcomes.

Their SEO work covers technical audits, keyword strategy, content planning, on-page optimization, and link acquisition through digital PR. The agency has a long track record in competitive UK search markets and approaches SEO with the same data-driven methodology applied to their paid and analytics work. Reporting is built around commercial attribution from the start rather than added retrospectively, which means SEO performance is presented alongside the pipeline contribution data that marketing leaders actually use to make decisions.

Hallam is a good fit for B2B SaaS and tech companies in the UK that want SEO managed within a full-service digital agency rather than by a standalone organic specialist. They suit companies that want paid and organic channels coordinated under one team with shared data. They are less suited to companies looking for a boutique SEO specialist with exclusive focus on one channel, or to those outside the UK that need international SEO capability as the primary service requirement.

Content marketing

Content at Hallam sits inside a full-service digital marketing engagement rather than operating as a separate content agency relationship. Their editorial strategy is grounded in what the SEO and analytics data says about buyer intent, which means content briefs are built around what actually moves qualified traffic rather than topics that seem interesting without evidence of commercial intent. This data-led approach produces content that earns rankings and contributes to pipeline rather than content that publishes regularly without connecting to acquisition outcomes.

Their content team produces long-form SEO articles, landing pages, and campaign-led assets, coordinated with the digital PR and technical SEO work running alongside. For B2B SaaS companies in competitive UK markets, the combination of editorial quality, SEO structure, and link acquisition infrastructure produces organic authority that compounds over time. Analytics connects content performance to pipeline metrics so the commercial case for content investment is visible and can be compared against paid acquisition on the same terms.

Hallam is a good fit for B2B SaaS and tech companies that want content managed as part of a full-service digital marketing program where editorial output is connected to SEO and analytics from the start. They suit companies in the UK market that want content and organic channels managed in coordination with paid rather than as a separate brief. They are less suited to companies that need a standalone content agency focused exclusively on thought leadership and editorial quality, or to those that want content production at high volume at lower cost.
