Shake It Up Creative celebrates 10 years in business!

Shake It Up Creative, the Worthing-based marketing and web company sprang into life in September 2015 with a launch party at (the then named) Rockinghorse Cocktail Bar.  Rachael Dines was made redundant from her software marketing role whilst pregnant in 2009 but managed to complete a UK Trade & Investment Scholarship trip to Chicago and become Chartered before her notice period ended.  She went on to work as a freelance marketer for six years - her first contract was handling PR for an independent hotel group.  Feeling ambitious, she then wanted the next step and co-founded the micro agency to deliver a range of creative services to businesses and non-profits.  She has now led the company alone but with a team underneath her, for over five years, taking it to new heights both financially and with the client roster.  Recent achievements include:

  • Winning a Web Excellence Award for Web Design
  • Delivery of the largest value contract the business has had in its history in 2024
  • Helping to launch the West Sussex Growth Hub
  • Finalist for Best Promotional Campaign at the national Independent Agency Awards 2025
  • Finalist for Sussex Entrepreneur Award 2025
  • Rachael was selected to sit on the West Sussex Economic Growth Board
  • Rachael has been selected to speak at the Marketing Profs B2B Forum in Boston, USA, this November

Sectors of strength for Shake It Up Creative are arts & culture, hospitality, and charity, however the company also work with West Sussex County Council and organisations in other industries.  The business has also proudly provided hundreds of pro bono calls to startups, small businesses and non-profits since it launched ten years ago.

Rachael said “Naturally there have been highs and lows, but I am so proud that we are still standing and continue to deliver valuable work across the county and beyond. Being a business owner requires strength, resilience and innovation and sometimes it can feel hard to find all of those things. Having the support of other Chamber members has been invaluable and I love being a part of this community.  I can’t wait to see what we can achieve in the next decade”
