Formation achieve ISO9001 with flying colours
We are proud to announce that Formation Media has been awarded the Quality Management ISO 9001 certification. Having passed the initial administration stage only recently, we then had an approved auditor visit this last week. Our newly issued certificate gains the top position on our wall of fame.
Formation is highly process-driven company. As part of measuring the success of our digital marketing campaigns, and our continuous improvement mentality. Supported by the hard work and commitment from HR & Quality Management Director, Dave Dunlop in managing the entire process, made for a positive outcome.
Not only did we pass the first time, but also with zero Non-Conformance Reports (NCR). Formation was complimented on the efficiency of all of our internal processes, structures and documentation.
Why does a marketing agency need ISO 9001?
Although we complete many projects for B2B and public sectors, such as the NHS and Police. Formation specialises in working with and supporting the engineering and manufacturing sector. This made perfect sense to have the same quality management structures in place to align ourselves with our client base.
Specialist Industrial Marketing Agency First in the UK to Obtain ISO 9001:2015 Certification
ISO 9001 certification has become almost the norm within the manufacturing and industrial sector, a stamp of quality and accountability.
However, in the creative and marketing sector, ISO has been largely neglected. For instance, there is a fear of stifling creativity or a feeling that it’s not relevant. Subsequently, ISO 9001 has become the latest addition to an impressive list of certifications.
At Formation, the team has found that a process-driven approach has drastically improved our workflow and quality. The ISO 9001 implementation acts as a powerful formalisation of an existing approach.
After months of audits and process consideration. The certification was spearheaded by HR & Quality director, David Dunlop, in conjunction with Managing Director Martin Gordon, and the collective Formation team.
Despite a breadth of both B2C and B2B marketing experience. Formation Media specialises in creative marketing and business solutions for the industrial sector, with a proven record of delivering business growth for industry leaders.
