Clicks Launches GrowCal: AI-Powered Advertising Built for Local Businesses

Digital & IT17 March 2026

Clicks, the advertising agency specialising in helping small and medium-sized businesses grow through smart, results-driven marketing, has today announced the launch of GrowCal by Clicks — a new AI-powered advertising platform designed to make agency-quality marketing accessible and affordable for local businesses across the UK.

Available at growcal.co.uk, GrowCal by Clicks gives independent businesses, retailers, and local service providers access to the kind of strategic advertising campaigns that have traditionally only been within reach of much larger companies — at a price point built for smaller budgets.

Closing the Gap Between Local Businesses and Big-Brand Advertising

For too long, effective advertising has felt out of reach for local businesses — either too expensive, too complicated, or simply not designed with their needs in mind. GrowCal by Clicks changes that.

Powered by AI, the platform streamlines the process of planning, building, and running advertising campaigns across digital channels, removing the complexity and cost that typically comes with hiring a full-service agency. Businesses can get started quickly, with campaigns tailored to their local area, their audience, and their budget.

Crucially, GrowCal by Clicks isn’t just a self-serve tool. Every campaign is backed by the expertise of the Clicks team — meaning local businesses get the benefit of real agency knowledge, not just software.

“Local businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, but they’ve always been underserved when it comes to advertising. GrowCal by Clicks was built to fix that. We’ve taken everything we know about running high-performance campaigns for growing businesses and built it into a platform that makes that expertise accessible to everyone — regardless of budget. This isn’t a watered-down version of what we do. It’s the real thing, made affordable.”
— Sam Haddadi, Managing Director, Clicks
