Radar is a new breed of media agency, one that helps brands and companies communicate better online by listening to online conversations, learning from those conversations and then (and only then) creating conversational content to join those conversations. You could say we’re just a bit more social.

We live in an era where many customers are voicing opinions about brands and services on blogs, social networks and video sharing channels. We’re here to help companies and their customers talk with each other instead of shouting at each other.

iCrossing is a world-leading digital marketing agency. Ranked by Forrester Research in its most recent Search Wave Report as the best for both paid search and SEO, it puts its search expertise together with the most advanced social media framework in the market to deliver digital marketing strategies that truly account for customers’ online behaviour.

iCrossing’s view is that businesses that understand the fundamental shift that has taken place as we move from broadcast channels to online networks - and that begin to live and be valued in their customers’ networks - will succeed. These are what we call 'connected brands'.

Search and social media are fundamental to this connected approach as they enable the conversation and navigation that defines online behaviour. Thus, we believe that to understand search and social is to truly understand the web.

Based on these foundations, iCrossing blends natural search (SEO), paid search, social media, content, display advertising, user experience, web development, and analytics & insight to build connected online marketing strategies for brands that include Channel 4, Lynx/Axe, MORE TH>N, Toyota, HBoS, Porsche, Cornhill Direct, Cheapflights, Kiddicare, Lipsy, Virgin Atlantic, Travleocity, and STA Travel.

iCrossing UK – formerly Spannerworks - is owned by iCrossing Inc, one of the largest digital agencies in the US, and has 110 UK staff working out of offices in London and Brighton. Find out more at www.icrossing.co.uk or contact us on
