The company, based in Midlothian, covers everything from social media content and advertising to corporate and commercial events alongside 3D animation, sound design and scriptwriting.

It has a UK client base which includes Mercedes Benz UK, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin as well as car dealerships and automotive brands - creative director Sergiusz Jezewski and his staff also work with law firms alongside trades companies.

Acquisition details remain undisclosed. 

Glasgow, who founded the Edinburgh Boiler Company (EBC) and Energy Training Academy, thinks the move will see him establish the UK’s No. 1 marketing agency for the trades sector.

The new company will be Dalkeith-based with five members of staff initially, complementing Trade Boss AI, the AI platform he introduced six months ago to help tradespeople and construction bosses improve the management of their businesses. 

Clients will also get business growth coaching from Glasgow. He said: “I have developed a lot of knowledge in building up EBC to a £10m-plus turnover company over the years. 

“But I knew I needed the added expertise and drive that someone like Serge provides to launch a marketing agency like this.

“His capability and enthusiasm are the perfect fit for what I’m looking for. It was a no-brainer that we needed to work together and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve.”

Glasgow added: “So many marketing agencies across the country don’t really know the trades. I believe we have a unique offering; specific trade AI, specific marketing capability and specific coaching.

“It’s my mission to be the UK’s No. 1 marketing agency for trades and I’m confident it won’t take us long to achieve that. 

“Some companies have larger turnovers but when it comes to marketing boilers, solar panels and heat pumps straight to the customer, nobody locally is doing it on a bigger scale than EBC.”

Glasgow also said: “It is easy getting leads but the key is scaling and maintaining the profit and that’s what Trade Boss Marketing will do.”

Jezewski established Just Shot in 2021 while studying at Holyrood High School, turning down the chance to pursue architecture at university to prioritise working on his video production skills after finishing sixth year.

Jezewski said: “I got to know Mark while working on a documentary-style series for the Energy Training Academy. 

“We clicked quite quickly as we both have the same approach to business.

“It means so much to me to have all the work that I have put into the business recognised by someone like Mark.”

Jezewski added: “He has built up the Edinburgh Boiler Company basically from nothing into this hugely successful operation and I’m delighted that he sees my value.

“It’s an incredible feeling to have someone of Mark’s business stature put his trust and belief in me and my team to help grow Trade Boss Marketing into the major player we know it will become.”
