Steve Grant
Managing Director | Founder
Driving long term success through lasting partnerships
Our story began in 1999 when founder Steve Grant knocked on the doors of local businesses in Liverpool. Having taught himself web design in his dad’s snooker room, Steve persuaded business owners to invest in digital marketing, targeting the search leaders of the time, Ask Jeeves and Yahoo.
By 2006, Google, YouTube and Facebook had burst onto the scene. After moving to London to study, Steve teamed up with fellow graduates to launch Figment. Together they were on a mission to get businesses found online. Backed up by a team of creative and technical specialists, Figment became the go-to agency for online success.
Today, Figment has grown to become one of the top ranked and most highly rated SEO agencies. The ‘Figment family’ shares Steve’s passion, integrity and commitment to success. And with an outstanding 5-star reputation, Figment remains the trusted choice.
