We’re pleased to announce that we have acquired Argent Consultancy, a specialist advisory and consultancy firm focused on supporting marketing and digital agencies to scale effectively.
Founded in early 2024 by Steven Mallon, Argent Consultancy has rapidly established itself as a trusted advisor to agency founders across Scotland and Northern England, offering strategic clarity and hands-on growth support. Through this acquisition, Scaled strengthens its regional presence and deepens its expertise in the agency space.
As part of the move, Steven Mallon will join the team as Partner, where he’ll play a key role in growing and evolving the agency and consulting services practice.
Mallon brings extensive industry expertise to the role, having been part of the bigmouthmedia leadership team that helped establish the agency as the UK’s leading digital marketing group. Following bigmouthmedia’s merger with LBi and subsequent acquisition by Publicis Groupe, Steven was the Managing Director of Digitas Media, overseeing commercial and operational strategy across a global client base and 120 strong team.
Simon Penson, Founder and Managing Partner of Scaled, comments:
“Steven and Argent have delivered outstanding work in a space we’re deeply committed to. Their knowledge of the agency sector adds real value to our mission and strategy. This is the first of several strategic initiatives as we evolve Scaled into the UK’s leading advisory and consultancy for ambitious B2B businesses.”
Steven Mallon, Founder of Argent Consultancy, added:
“Argent was built with the goal of helping agency founders unlock their potential. By joining Scaled, we can do that on a much bigger stage – with more tools, more talent and more impact. I’m excited to help drive the next phase of growth together.”
This acquisition marks a new phase of growth for Scaled as we build out an end-to-end consulting and services platform for B2B and SaaS businesses across the UK and internationally.
