North American digital marketing agency Noble Performs, which opened its first office outside the US in Bristol four years ago, is to launch its innovative charity support programme in the city.
Called Noble Deeds, the scheme upskills charity and not-for-profit organisations’ in-house marketing teams. 
Originally launched by Noble Performs’ headquarters in Nevada, the programme has helped dozens of charities over the past decade.
It has also expanded in line with the agency’s growth, donating services worth more than $200,000 (£163,000) a year to good causes.
Noble Performs’ Bristol office will launch the UK version at an exclusive summer drinks event at the Clifton Observatory on 6 July.
Timed to mark the programme’s 10-year anniversary – as well as reinforcing the agency’s commitment to Bristol as its UK home – the initiative will give one local charity £12,000 worth of digital performance marketing support.
Noble Performs, which works with global blue-chip clients such as Adobe, Rolls-Royce and Air Asia, is inviting Bristol-based charities to attend the launch and learn more about the scheme. Entries will then open, with the winner announced in August and work beginning in September.
Noble UK managing director Kate Sikora said: “Ever since we established our Bristol base in 2018 we’ve wanted to bring our Noble Deeds programme to the city.
“With charities and not for profits struggling more than ever to secure vital donations due to the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis it felt like the right time to be trying to help them look at how their digital marketing efforts can help crucial fundraising efforts
“One of the reasons we chose Bristol as our UK home is it really resonates with our ‘Be Better Every day’ philosophy.
“The city is such a melting pot of businesses and not for profits of all shapes and sizes but there’s a real sense of genuine community and shared responsibility around making the city a better place to live and work for everyone.”
Noble Performs, which employs more than 70 people across its offices in Reno, Las Vegas and Bristol, was established by Jarrod and Season Lopiccolo in 2004 to provide a range of services spanning web design & development, SEO, paid media marketing, content marketing services and conversion rate optimisation.
Its Bristol base is in the Runway East hub on Victoria Street, where it shares an office with sister firm, brand agency Mr B & Friends.
