Who are Climbing Trees?

Climbing Trees is a B Corp certified performance ads & SEO agency, driven to ethically deliver results for the companies that will shape our future world. Our award winning expertise has positively impacted our partnerships with diverse clients including e commerce giants Olympus Cameras, B2B organisations such as Volvo Construction and renowned charities like Greenpeace and The Wombles. Our unique methodology seamlessly integrates data, AI, and industry-leading experts to achieve results. 

We’re proud to be based in Essex, contributing to the region’s growing tech and digital ecosystem. As part of the local business community, we actively engage in initiatives that foster digital skills, support tech startups, and promote sustainability. Our dedication extends beyond just results. We’re striving to be a force for good in our industry, setting new standards for transparency, client collaboration, and environmental responsibility.

What have you been up to in 2024?

This year has been all about balancing purpose with profit. We were honoured to receive the King’s Award for Sustainable Development, a recognition of our commitment to driving positive change in the industry. Beyond this, we’ve continued to make strides in our environmental goals, including our ambition to plant one million trees by 2030 and progressing towards becoming a net-zero business.

We have been preparing for a B Corp recertification, and we have also invested in new AI-driven capabilities, and launched successful campaigns with clients that align with our values of sustainability and innovation.

What are your plans for the future?

Looking ahead, we aim to be the kind of responsible business that the world of tomorrow needs—one that is profitable, takes care of its people, prioritises their wellbeing, pays fairly, and focuses on retaining and nurturing talent. We want to be a company that gives back to our local community rather than just taking from it—whether that’s through supporting homeless charities, collaborating with council offices, promoting digital inclusion, championing diversity in schools, or tree planting initiatives.

Right now, we’re re-evaluating our client base to attract the kind of businesses that align with a sustainable future. From a governance perspective, we’re moving towards a more transparent, open-book approach. We believe this will ensure fairness and give anyone looking at the business a genuine view of our efforts and progress.

For the environment, we’re pushing forward with new ideas—such as exploring how we could purchase land to support rewilding. This could include partnerships with regenerative farmers, and these conversations are already underway.

Do you think Essex is a place for business? If yes, why?

Absolutely. Essex offers a dynamic environment for businesses, access to a talented and diverse workforce, and a growing focus on innovation and sustainability. As a local business, we’ve benefited from the sense of community and collaboration here, as well as the support networks available for companies of all sizes.

Beyond this, there’s a real opportunity to shape the future of Essex as a hub for ethical and sustainable business practices. We see great potential in partnering with other local businesses and organisations to make a lasting, positive impact.
