Fife based marketing agency, Local Heroes, has joined Nostos – a fast-growing community of independent agencies – to strengthen its capability and drive international expansion into the US through a 360 service offering.
Established in late 2023 by Guy Hayward, an experienced C-Suite and marketing professional, Local Heroes was founded to help locally owned businesses grow, thrive, and invigorate their communities.
Since launch, Guy has worked closely with independent and owned-managed businesses within Fife, across the wider Scotland region and throughout Europe and Asia to deliver accessible and affordable marketing strategies that have achieved impressive growth and ROI.
Founded in 2019, Nostos unites a community of like-minded independent marketing agencies to offer clients a full 360 of marketing and tech expertise. Boasting over 2,000 fully vetted agencies across the UK and US, Nostos prides itself on providing simple and easy access to the smartest teams within each discipline.
In joining the Nostos network, Local Heroes will now be able to expand into the US and offer its clients a full and integrated service offering across marketing, communications, advertising and tech development, while the network will benefit from Guy’s impressive 30+ year corporate career in the advertising sector.
This latest news comes after Guy was shortlisted by the prestigious Great British Entrepreneur Awards for his unique and community-led approach to supporting local SMEs.
Guy confirmed: “I launched Local Heroes at the end of last year out of a genuine want to support the local businesses who are conscious of the products they make, the resources they use and the customers they serve.
“Since starting the business, I have met and worked with some truly inspiring individuals who have developed amazing ideas but would benefit from world class marketing expertise to push their brand forwards and drive business growth. While we have achieved excellent results, I want to ensure Local Heroes can deliver across all disciplines – especially in the USA – so joined Nostos to strengthen our service offering and collaborate with an expert community of marketing and tech professionals.
“Ultimately, the US is such an important market for many of my clients so having real strength on the ground there is really valuable. I am now really excited about this next step in the Local Heroes journey and how it will aid in driving revenue growth for us and our clients.”
Headquartered in Fife, Scotland, Local Heroes is fast-becoming a ‘go to’ marketing provider for SMEs on a regional, national and international scale.
