Our Story
A decade of digital craft
From YouTube channels to a digital agency working with brands across the world — the journey that built CreateTheWeb.
2013 · The early days
A Chance Encounter
Over 10 years ago, before CreateTheWeb was even an idea, Otis Wilkinson and Luke Jeffrey (our directors) were YouTube influencers — working day in and day out to "make it" on the platform. This is where their hard-working traits were formed.
YouTube is an incredibly difficult platform to get noticed on, but both Otis and Luke were determined. They regularly live streamed to boost growth and exposure. In one of those streams, Otis accepted donations for charity — Luke donated one pound. After the stream, Luke reached out to Otis, and a bond was formed through their shared love of social media and YouTube.
2015 · A million subscribers
A Million Subscribers
Both Luke and Otis reached over one million subscribers on YouTube — and now have Gold and Silver awards hanging on their office wall, sent from the CEO of YouTube as a testament to their hard work.
2016 · Discovering digital marketing
Becoming Marketers
After YouTube, Otis and Luke ran eCommerce stores, where they discovered their passion for digital marketing and advertising. While managing these stores, they dedicated countless hours to learning Meta advertising, Google SEO, email marketing, and various other marketing strategies. Their hard work paid off — the online stores became highly successful.
2017 · CreateTheWeb begins
CreateTheWeb Begins
Otis took it upon himself to start what is now known as CreateTheWeb. He began the business on his own — personally knocking on local businesses' doors in Bath and Bristol, cold calling, and making every effort to generate interest.
With persistence and hard work, Otis began working with local companies, building their websites. This eventually expanded to providing support with social media, IT, and much more.
2018 · Luke joins as director
The Partnership Forms
Around a year later, Luke joined CreateTheWeb as a director, and the partnership was formed. Luke brought fresh ideas and valuable skills to the table, which had an immediate impact on the company's growth and success.
