Creode back on the Leeds Tech Map

We’re at the heart of Leeds tech (again)

We’re buzzing. For the second time, Creode has been included on the Leeds Tech Map – and we couldn’t be more proud.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the Leeds Tech Map is a brilliant tube-style visualisation of the city’s tech ecosystem. It maps out the companies, organisations, and innovators that make Leeds one of the UK’s most exciting tech hubs. And there we are, right in the mix.

I went along to the launch event last week. Packed room. People building incredible things across software, FinTech, health tech, data, AI. It’s one of those occasions where you look around and think: there’s a lot of good stuff happening in this city.

The company we keep

What strikes me most about the map isn’t just being on it – it’s who we’re on it with. The calibre of businesses represented is exceptional. Established players, fast-growing scale-ups, companies doing things we’d never heard of before. It’s a snapshot of a tech scene that’s diverse, ambitious, and punching well above its weight.

For a specialist agency like ours – focused on digital marketing and transformation for financial services – being recognised alongside this community feels significant. It says that what we’re building here matters. That our work helping challenger brands in finance compete and grow has a place in Leeds’ tech story.

A useful thing

Beyond the feel-good factor, the Leeds Tech Map serves a practical purpose. It’s a navigational tool for anyone trying to understand the local ecosystem. Looking for partners? Talent? Investment opportunities? Want to see what’s happening in your sector? It’s all there.

Huge credit to The Data City for providing the data intelligence that underpins the map. Their work in mapping tech clusters and understanding growth patterns is invaluable – not just for Leeds, but for tech communities across the country.

Why it matters to us

Being included for a second time confirms something we’ve long thought: you don’t need to be in London to do world-class work in tech and digital.

Leeds has given us access to brilliant talent, fantastic clients, and a supportive business community. It’s where we’ve built our expertise in financial services marketing, developed products like Mosaic™, and grown a team that cares about the impact they create.

We’re proud to call Leeds home. And we’re proud to be part of its tech story.
