Matthew Ruddle stands at the helm of Ruddle Digital, a digital marketing firm that partners with diverse businesses. We delve deep to recognise your ideal audience, and then design persuasive marketing paths that not only turn them from prospects to customers but also ensures their retention and further engagement.
THE WHY BEHIND ALL WE DO HERE
(i.e. what gets us out of bed in the morning)
Our passion is assisting businesses in their growth journey. Too often, businesses become ensnared in the daily hustle, hindering their progression. Matthew Ruddle, the Managing Director of Ruddle Digital, established the company with a vision: to drive business growth by harnessing technology, embracing pragmatism, and focusing on the entire customer experience, resulting in truly effective marketing.
What Our Client’s Say…
In the last few months Matthew has helped me with my emails and CRM systems which have always annoyed me so much!
He’s made it so simple that even I can understand it! Not only do I now understand it, it’s becoming a very powerful part of my business.
Thank you so much Matt, I’ll do a video testimony soon too!
We reached out to Matthew and his team for a complete re-brand, absolutely recommend these guys; honest and hard-working, they recognise the position of small SME and truly wish to improve your business. If you are looking for a job done right and quickly these guys are a good place to start!
Matt is just brilliant at what he does. It’s fair to say I don’t really understand how he does it but that doesn’t matter because he explains everything so clearly that even I get it !!
He very quickly understood exactly what I needed in my business, even before I did, and has built an outstanding process that very quickly increased my sales and my business efficiencies.
I cannot recommend his services enough.
Matthew carried out training for us on-site and the value he added from his font of stories went beyond our expectations. He has great advice to give, and you should listen because it is all based on observations of real life amongst his many clients. Summarised by his favourite phrase “life happens”
I attended a course on marketing automation, run by Matthew Ruddle. I came away with a really well thought out automation which I’d say is 100 times better than any automation I’ve done to date
Matthew delivered an excellent course on planning the Marketing Strategy. He clearly speaks from experience and was very enthusiastic in what he was talking about. He tailored the course to our particular needs – we can’t wait to get started, using the tools and knowledge Matthew has given us!
Rotech Machines
Matthew is extremely knowledgeable in sales and marketing technology. He demonstrated that to us loud and clear when he provided Sales Plus Profit with set up, training and consultancy on our CRM system. He’s very approachable, nothing too much bother and above all of this he’s a thoroughly good guy
It was a pleasure working with Matthew. He is very meticulous and farsighted. Here at Accountagility we are thankful to Matthew and the team for helping us push foward marketing automation
I have worked with Matt over the years on various projects and charity events from Tough Mudder to Come Dine with Me. Matt has been a great sounding board and provides brilliant solutions to problems and always happy to help.
Matt always goes above and beyond and has helped me with marketing for various business over the 10 years I have known him.

How The Growth Academy Works
Step 1 – Discovery Day
You don’t build a house without a strong foundation and we don’t start this process without doing a deep dive into you, your business and your goals.
We have to understand you and your business, what makes you tick, what your drivers are, the journey you’ve been on to get you to this point. Then together we dig a bit deeper, we understand your ideal clients and the journey we want to take them to turn them from prospects, to customers, to lifelong clients.
We research the systems, messaging and so much more to build the foundations we can work from
Step 2 – The Journey
Now comes the fun part! The journey!
Understanding you and your business is the start, building the journey that we are about to take is the fun part, we map out the processes, the messaging, the theme, the resources needed and so much more.
We create your playbook, your manual for the business-winning machine we are about to create!
Step 3 – C.E.N.T
With the Journey created, we apply the flesh to the skeleton and use the model that our MD, Matthew Ruddle, has created over the years of working with businesses all over the world – C.E.N.T
- Content (Blogs, Videos, Graphics, Infographics, Podcasts, etc – as part of The Growth Academy, we help create the content)
- Engagement (Social Media Management, Prospect Engagement and more)
- Nurture (Systems, Processes, The Customer Journey, Automation and so much more!)
- Transact (Getting the business across the line!)
This model has been key to many businesses winning consistent business and as part of the process, we work with you to deploy this dangerously powerful process for your business
Working together, with the plan, we pick what we need from our menu of services IE If you need more traffic to your website, we look to create content and we get our team to work on your SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Then the following month, we might look to turn those written blogs into videos, so we book a filming day (if a location is needed, this cost will be added), where we shoot video with you and your team and create those for social media, your website and more.
Whatever the plan needs, etc bring to the table and get done
Step 4 – Review
Every month we book in either a Face-to-Face meeting (or a coffee!) or an online Zoom meeting to review what we’ve been doing, the impact and more, as well as catching up with you and your team on the tasks you’ve been working on. That allows us all to be accountable and keep the momentum flowing and to see where we need to adapt, tweak and ramp up our plans.
At the end of the 6 months, it’s vital that we review, learn and improve. As the Growth Academy makes an impact with your business, hitting your goals and moving you forward, we take a step back at the end of each 6 month period, to review, learn and improve.
Then…. We go again!

Application Process
It’s important to us, that we have a strong relationship with our clients, so we are both driving your business in the right direction. This is why, we don’t work with everyone, we only work with businesses where we are both a good fit for each other.
So we have an application process, just to make sure that
A) we can help you and,
B) we are both going to be focused on delivering the results
The Application Process is simple, select a time and date for us to have a zoom call, and pop your details in to the form. We will then send you a Zoom link and prior to the call we will run a quick audit on your site, your marketing, etc.
We will then run through this (giving you free advice as well!) and make sure we are a good fit for each other!
FAQ about The Growth Academy
Our core goal is to provide value and help you reach the goals that we set together. This means, in order for us to achieve that, we need to be sure that we understand your business, your industry as well as setting those realistic goals.
We’ve seen too many businesses/coaches and “Gurus” out there who work with everyone and anyone and as many people as they can get to sign up…. you know the type, the “run to the back of the room and sign up NOW!” guys.
That’s not us.
We want to work with people we can genuinely help and that means our time (and yours) is important, so you deserve that focus.
We work on 6-month blocks, we won’t sign you up for 12 or 18-month programmes.
6 months is a good period of time to get things moving, hit goals, learn lots, so we can go again faster, stronger and even more successful
Of course, there could be any number of reasons why we feel we aren’t a good fit for you (and we will fully explain that, even helping you find someone else to work with!)
But there is nothing to stop you from applying in the next opening. Times change, situations change, people change…. never say never!
Absolutely not, the whole point of The Growth Academy is a partnership, we all bring different skills to the party, so we want to utilise them.
No one knows your business more than you, and we know a lot of other really cool stuff! So we put them together, with accountability, trackable results, open communications and a singled minded focus on getting you the results
There are no guarantees in life (except death and taxes!!), whilst we will work with you to set out a goal and what success will look like, sometimes life gets in the way and has a different idea for us all.
That is not us covering our a**e but the reality of things, so many companies out there make big promises and then stick their get-out-of-jail-free card in the tiny tiny small print – we won’t do that.
Our monthly check-ins are there for us to be accountable and for us all to know where we are at, what is happening, how close (or how far) we all are to the targets and we can make adjustments to get us to them. If we need to put our “Smash Glass In Case Of Emergencies” policy in place (basically we double our efforts!), then that is what we do.
Our sole goal is to make sure you hit yours
Video marketing is huge these days, it gets attention, it educates, it converts – so we include it in The Growth Academy.
The videos would be interview style to educate but we can offer other promotional videos, although there might be an additional cost (We can make Avatar if you want, we just need the budget! 🙂 )
As part of the planning stage, we work out what is needed, how much and we come at things with logic and expertise, so if we need video (and we will!) then we get it done
The simple answer is…. both of us – we have content writers who can produce the content but no one knows your products, services, etc better than you, we will just help you articulate it a bit better!
At the end of the 6 months, we do a review, a full on “warts and all” review, what worked, what didn’t, how we all worked together, etc and proper, honest review and then we make a decision…
Continue for another 6 months
OR
Move to another service we offer (like SEO, just our Marketing hub, etc)
OR
We part as friends (we will always be here for you to pick up the phone and speak to us!)
It’s as simple as that, of course, we look forward to working with you for years and years to come, but we know that if we’ve done our jobs right, that you will probably outgrow us and hopefully have your own internal marketing team, which we can still work with or even help train, but nothing makes us happier than seeing our clients fly on their own knowing we have played a part in that journey.
