About Pomegranite

About us

If your audience believed you could drive real change, how easy would it be to build a network of support?

Crafting an online presence that makes a real connection with your community is all in the detail. The story of a girl finding her strength through your outreach programme, or the moment you reached a milestone of vital healthcare consultations through new technology. It’s about communicating those moments in a way that makes the person who visits your website or Instagram page feel completely seen and compelled, in line with your vision – and that’s where we come in.

Pomegranite started as a partnership between two determined English literature graduates, Liz and Sarah. They set out to build a business rooted in telling stories, giving a voice to organisations doing good work and carving out a space for them in the online world.

Over the last decade, Pomegranite has grown within the non-profit and education sectors, largely through word of mouth. We are a highly qualified team of website developers, project managers, content specialists, and social media strategists.

On each new project, we start by listening and understanding what you need to showcase your offering, connect to your target audience, and grow your brand. Connecting with people on a human level underpins every piece of work we undertake. This, combined with considered and dynamic design, makes for compelling digital content.

What sets us apart?

Organisations trust us to tell their story
to the right audience on the right channels with clear messaging and goals through impactful content.
We create thumb-stopping content

to reach people through their screens.

Clients like seeing us in their inbox

because we are responsive, responsible and value positive human connection.

You get more than a website or social media campaign

At the end of a project, you won’t only get deliverables; we’ll leave you with a broader understanding of storytelling as a digital marketing tool.

Loves reading, writing and podcasts (mostly about reading and writing). Mildly obsessed with her rescue Scottie, Eleanor. Keen traveller – whether it’s to the corner café for a chocolate croissant or to a place where the street signs are a mystery.
