Our Story
September 2017
Bedrooms & Generators
Does everyone start their business sat in their bedroom with an idea and a ‘random business name generator’?
No? Well, that’s how ‘Nosy Catfish’ was born.
Matt’s side hustle was creating simple websites for friends and designing graphics using free software.
It didn’t take long before they dropped the ‘Catfish’. (Thankfully).
(Matt does now recognise it was a poor choice!)

Of iPads & Libraries
Matt eventually found himself at Age UK as a Digital Tutor. He visited elderly people in their homes and in the community, teaching them how to use iPads, shop online, or video call their families.
While working at the charity Matt changed the name to Nosy Design, and worked on the fledgling company in spare evenings.

The 1st Marketeer
Business was going well enough to double in size – but who to bring on board?
Matt and Alex met while working a bar job. Alex’s first job was to teach Matt what a shandy was. (True story).
They quickly moved on to more technical stuff, with Alex doubling the size of the Nosy team.

Welcome To Our Crib
Soon after, Nosy moved into their first office. It was an empty shell, and our dynamic duo found themselves painting, plastering and fitting carpets.
They also quickly discovered that putting together IKEA furniture was not their forte…
January 2019
And Then There Were 3
The new year saw Nosy expanding their service range and taking on an apprentice. Ollie quickly joined the team full-time.
As their knowledge and experience grew, so did their client base. The company repositioned, and began working with progressively larger companies.

All Aboard The Train’ing
Sharing with the community has always been a big part of the Nosy way, so online events and IOW Chamber training seminars were a natural next step.
Alex and Matt delivered training courses on social media, branding, and video advertising, helping dozens of business owners to grow their organisations.
September 2019
Tech Drinks, Anyone?
They next launched ‘Tech Drinks’, a monthly networking event aimed at the technology sector. It continues to be a huge success, and each session now attracts 50+ attendees.
The first seeds of Nosy becoming technology marketing experts were planted…
October 2019
Black Ties & Dresses
As the team continued to expand, they were nominated for the IOW Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Start-up Business of the Year’.
Nosy didn’t pick up the trophy, but the application process helped the team focus and keep developing.
December 2019
Office 2.0
With both Reuben (Video Director) and April (Relationships Manager) joining the team in quick succession, it was time for a larger office.
The Nosy Space now includes seven offices, a training room, plenty of storage…
…and space for further expansion.

Defining Purpose
The team made a decision to pick a niche and specialise in marketing technology companies.
On top of this page you’ll notice a quote: “We believe that innovative technology companies will change the world for the better.”
That’s what Nosy believes in.
Watch this space for more work, more events and more impact.
