About us

Tao Digital Marketing

Tao Digital Marketing, based in Bolton town centre, is a search marketing agency which works with clients to help them have the best online presence possible.

Bolton entrepreneur Matt Tomkin launched the business on 4th May 2017.

As he secured more business, staff became full time and Matt grew the team organically as revenue increased.

In summer 2020 they moved into new modern premises in the heart of Bolton town centre, occupying the entire first floor of the building.

Who we are?

Tao Digital Marketing’s team has grown from three to 10 over the past 12 months. As the business takes on more clients, and those clients recommend them to others, work continues to come in - especially more businesses are realising that they need an outstanding online presence.

Hiring and training has been a key area to ensure that this growth remains sustainable. There is a good mix of young talent that can be trained and more experienced team members who can bring their knowledge and experience to provide strategic advice and teach others.

Matt Tomkin, Founder and CEO Tao Digital is passionate about his home town of Bolton and giving local talent the chance to shine in a career.

He said: “One thing we are proud of at Tao Digital is that we are transparent and honest.

“We care about our clients and our employees. We provide employees with a clear pathway to success and are formulating transparent progression bands so that the team understands what they need to do in order to further their careers.

“We want our employees to enjoy their work, and this will in turn provide a better experience for our clients.

“I love watching the team grow and I'm so happy we have been able to provide the roles for them to thrive and achieve not only their career goals, but personal goals too.”

University collaboration:

They have supported the careers team and attended the Graduate Futures event in June 2021, which sought to support final year students and graduates into employment.
