The Legacy of Leadstream and Zuru
Leadstream was founded in 2014 with a single vision to create positive disruption in the financial services industry. Through developing and creating a customer generation business that bridged the gap between consumer and advisors LeadStream built QuoteSearch, UK's leading Life Insurance portal powered by proprietary technology.
In just under six years, Leadstream had launched 4 additional brands and built a consumer base of over 1.5 million.
Zuru was founded in 2018 and entered an already saturated digital landscape. The focus was to change the way a typical agency operated, and Zuru quickly started to develop owned and managed digital brands, generating tens of thousands of conversations via social and biddable media in 4 major sectors; finance, education, health and home.
The Founding of Zuru Group
With a proven track record in their respective fields, the combined potential of both Leadstream and Zuru couldn't be ignored. In early 2022 an inevitable merger forged two halves of the customer generation and acquisition universe into a single, powerful entity.
As a combined entity, Zuru Group has the momentum and expertise to revolutionise customer generation across multiple sectors.
Pushing Boundaries,
Redefining Success
After the joint merger of two of the UKs leading customer acquisition agencies, the Zuru Group Board has over sixty years combined experience in leading successful, resilient and purpose driven teams.
