Working with us in Manchester
Do you work with businesses in Manchester?
Yes. Manchester is 45 minutes east of the studio, and we work with clients there on brand identity, website design, development, marketing, copywriting and green web hosting.
How does working with a Manchester design studio compare to a London or Manchester agency?
You get the principal on the work, not an account manager passing briefs to a pool of juniors. Costs are typically 30 to 50% lower than equivalent London agencies for the same quality, turnaround is faster because decisions don't pass through several layers, and the person who quoted you is the person you work with from start to finish.
Can we meet in person in Manchester?
Yes. Manchester is 45 minutes east of the studio. We visit in person for brand discovery workshops, photography and shoots, milestone reviews and launches. Day-to-day delivery happens remotely, so timelines aren't held up by travel.
Which sectors do you know best in Manchester?
We have worked most with b2b software and technology, creative and media businesses, independent hospitality and retail in and around Manchester. The principles of considered branding, accessible web design and honest marketing travel well across sectors, though.
