Leigh businesswoman Paige Rose triumphs with Hapn Creative

Paige Rose, founder of creative agency Hapn Creative, rebuilt her brand after bricks were thrown through the window of her home, where she lives with her five-year-old son.

She said: “Last year brought a situation no business owner or parent should have to face, when my home where my young son lives was targeted.

“It was deeply unsettling, but I made a conscious decision not to allow that moment to define either myself or the business I had built with such care.

“Instead, I chose to move forward with clarity and resilience.

“It was deeply unsettling, but I made a conscious decision not to allow that moment to define either myself or the business.”

Instead, she used the experience as fuel to drive her business forward.

Over the past four years, Hapn Creative has grown from a one-woman operation into a multi-award-winning agency with a team of seven.

The company now serves clients across the UK and internationally.

Hapn Creative has also gained national recognition, winning the title of The Best Social Media Strategy in the UK by Business Awards UK earlier this month.

That brought its total to eight awards, alongside a recent nomination for a Wigan Business Award.

Rose explained: “What began as a solo venture four years ago has since evolved into a refined creative agency working with a team and clients across the UK and internationally, and receiving national recognition for our work is a moment I’m incredibly proud of.

“For me, this journey represents more than growth.

“It’s about building something with strength, integrity and intention, regardless of the challenges faced along the way.”

Hapn Creative has delivered notable results for its clients, helping them achieve more than 184 million views on Instagram reels and generating significant ROI through social media strategy.

The agency has worked on high-profile international projects, including collaborations with global brands such as Temu, Brainzyme, and The Productivity Method.

It has also produced branding and creative work for businesses in Milan and Paris, helped a London office brand fully occupy a building through digital marketing, and produced content for Isle of Man TT riders – going on to receive recognition and appreciation from TT rider Davey Todd.

In addition to running the agency, Rose has built a network of business professionals through Ignition Networking, most recently hosting entrepreneur Vicky Owens as a keynote speaker.

She was also featured on Ms Owens’ podcast, currently ranked in the top 10 business podcasts in the UK, where she spoke about the brick attack.

As the business continues to expand, Rose said her focus remains on delivering work that is “commercially impactful and creatively elevated” while building a brand that represents a more considered, global standard within the industry.
