Sandwich is a small town with an unusually mixed economy. Inside the medieval street plan you’ll find independent shops, pubs and guest houses that rely on visitors to the Quay, the Guildhall and the Barbican. A short way out of the centre, Discovery Park on the former Pfizer site is home to science, technology and professional services firms. And every few years Royal St George’s puts the town in front of the golfing world, as it did when it hosted The Open in July 2021.
We’re a creative and digital agency based at Union Park in Maidstone. Our team comes to you in Sandwich, and clients are always welcome at our office. We like to meet the people we work with face to face. If a video call is easier on a particular day, that works too. Whether you’re a lab-based start-up at Discovery Park or a family business on Strand Street, here’s how we help:

A town of Sandwich’s size rarely has a full creative team on the doorstep, so businesses here usually look further afield. We’ll come to Sandwich to sit down with you or film on your premises, and our Maidstone office is always open to clients who’d like to visit.
We understand the two sides of the town
Selling to holidaymakers and golfers is a different job from explaining a lab service to a procurement team. We plan the message, tone and channels around who you actually need to reach.
Face to face, wherever suits you
We’d rather talk things through across a table than over email. We’ll come to your shop, office or unit in Sandwich, you can visit us at Union Park, or we can catch up on a video call when that’s easier.
A crew that knows the local backdrops
The Quay, the Salutation’s Lutyens house and gardens, the Stour and the open coast at Sandwich Bay all make strong settings for film and photography when the brief suits them.
