Yomi Tejumola, Founder and CEO of Algomarketing has been recognised as one of The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2024, in partnership with The Times.
Created by trusted investment partner LDC – part of Lloyds Banking Group, The Top 50 celebrates entrepreneurs demonstrating remarkable ambition, and is now in its seventh year.
This year the programme received more than 700 nominations showcasing the exceptional individuals building successful and growing businesses right across the UK.
The business leaders featured in The LDC Top 50 for 2024 are making a real impact by creating jobs, promoting social equality, championing sustainability, expanding internationally, and integrating purpose into their business practices. They operate from 39 towns and cities across the UK and span every sector of the economy, whilst collectively they employ 5,146 people and generate revenues of more than £1.1bn.
Algomarketing originated in 2017 when Yomi was working as a data scientist at Google. He saw the opportunity to build a disruptive new agency using AI to automate mundane tasks and transform the workforce into what he calls a new era of “evolved workers”. Today, Algomarketing generates 65% of its revenue from outside the UK, with clients like Google, OpenAI, Cisco, Stripe, and Zoom fueling a growth trajectory expected to reach £150m by 2030.
Yomi Tejumola, CEO and Founder of Algomarketing comments: “It’s an incredible honour to be recognised as an LDC Ambitious Business Leader this year. Since starting this journey in 2017, I’ve been on a mission to restore joy to the world of work. Through Algomarketing, I’ve built a global network of 200 Algos (or marketing super talent) who we deploy into big tech brand marketing operations globally. By unlocking the power of algorithmic marketing, we can remove the 80% repetitive and mundane tasks that many marketers experience in their day-to-day roles. I'm striving to build a future where marketers leverage AI and automation to not only make them more productive, but improve their work-life balance, creativity, and general wellness; thereby becoming an 'evolved marketer' that brings benefits to both the individual and business.
John Garner, Managing Partner at LDC, added: “It’s been seven years since we launched The LDC Top 50 and in that time we’ve had the privilege of meeting some truly remarkable people. Our business leaders for 2024 show relentless drive and determination in their growth ambitions, and I’d like to congratulate them on everything they’ve achieved so far. This is certainly not the end of their success and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
