Becoming Rant in our 20th year

This year, we have launched our rebrand and relaunched as Rant (previously Rantmedia), as part of an ambitious growth plan and its 20th anniversary this year.

Our rebrand reflects our growth since our 2003 launch, with a focus on integrity, creativity, expertise and passion to reflect our vision.

Over the past two years, we’ve seen a 160% turnover growth, and added four new members to the board.

The board includes Anton Faulconbridge as CEO, Danielle Llewellyn as Operations Director, Gwen Vaughan as Product Director, Chris Done as Commercial Director and Amy Thorne as Creative Director.

The board of directors is part of the core team at Rant, driving forward the company vision and ensuring success. Collaboration is our strength, working together to deliver exceptional products and services for our trusted partners.

Our board is 60% female, we are proud to be an inclusive organisation and value diversity in our team.

Anton Faulconbridge, CEO of Rant, says: “The rebrand was the next logical step for the company. Partners and investors often refer to us as Rant, and drop the ‘media’ that comes alongside it. The letterforms that we’ve chosen are professional, yet playful, which allow us to stand out against our competitors, while adding in personality to the branding.

“The relationships we create, the work we deliver and how we operate has changed a lot since we set up in 2003, and while why we do the work remains the same, the current brand no longer closely reflects who we are or even what we do for our partners.

“The whole team have all helped contribute to the branding, and we’re so proud of how the brand reflects the growth we’re aiming for and the journey we’re heading on.”

We extend our gratitude to our remarkable team, clients, and partners who have been integral in shaping this journey. The road ahead beckons with opportunities for innovation, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to elevating digital possibilities.

Here’s to embracing excellence, inspiring innovation, and redefining digital landscapes together!
