The month of May 2018 marks Steadfast’s third birthday as a company, so we decided to mark the occasion with a month of celebrations.

If you don’t already know us, it’s probably about time we introduce ourselves… Steadfast Collective are a team of passionate creatives focusing on creating content-driven digital platforms and applications. Our current clients cover a wide range of industry sectors, in the  Hampshire area and beyond. In 2017, we moved to our Canute Road office in Southampton, which is now home to our five permanent team members, alongside visits from our contracting friends. We love what we do and want to share that with our clients.

So far this month, we’ve been reminiscing about our small beginnings back in 2015 where managing director Pete was the only full-time member of staff on the team. From the early days hot-desking around town to starting to grow a fully-fledged team in our office, it’s been a fun adventure and we’ve had the privilege of working with some amazing clients and brands along the way.

From our name change (Steadfast Digital -> Steadfast Collective) to our fairly recent re-brand, things have been ever-evolving for us as a company and we’ve shared many exciting achievements as a team.

One of the main reasons for celebrating our birthday is to simply recognise what we do well. We’re proud to have established ourselves on the Southampton scene as a creative studio people know and trust. Alongside this, we’re looking to reach out to meet other local business owners, creatives, students, freelancers and entrepreneurs to hear their start-up stories and to encourage them along the way.

A birthday isn’t a birthday without a present. Pete has been hard at work recording a series of podcasts with fellow business owners to discuss three lessons they learnt whilst starting up a new business. Hopefully, you’ll pick up some tips and tricks as you take a listen and get involved. You can find the podcast on iTunes or via the Podcast category on our blog.

If you follow us on social media (Instagram / Twitter), you may have seen that we’ve had a lot of fun in the office; eating cake, wearing party hats and, best of all, throwing confetti! It’s definitely not something you get to do every day at work so we’ve been making the most of every minute. Come and follow us for more fun!

To the team, friends, local businesses, clients and contacts; thanks for all the love, support and opportunities over the three years. Here’s to the next three…
