A Maidstone creative team for Staplehurst's busy, growing village
Staplehurst is one of the larger villages in the Maidstone borough, and it keeps getting busier. The A229 follows the line of an old Roman road straight through it, becoming the High Street on its way from Maidstone towards Cranbrook. At the northern end, the station on the South Eastern Main Line brings a steady flow of London commuters, and the units clustered around Lodge Road give the village a working, light-industrial side that many people driving through never notice.
That mix shapes what local businesses need. A trade firm near the station, a shop on the parade, a consultant working from home in Hawkenbury and a nursery or care provider all want to be found, trusted and chosen. Our office at Union Park in Maidstone is a short drive up the A229, so you can pop in to see us or we’ll come to you, and our video crew travels down whenever there’s filming to do. Here’s what we offer Staplehurst businesses:

What Staplehurst businesses get from working with us
Working with a studio a short drive up the A229 means you get an agency that knows the area and is easy to reach. We’d always rather talk things through in person: drive up to our office at Union Park in Maidstone, or we’ll come down to Staplehurst and meet you at your premises. If the diary is packed, a video call does the job instead. Either way, you deal with the people actually doing the work.
Just up the A229
Our Maidstone office is a short drive from Staplehurst, so a face-to-face meeting is never a big trip for either of us.
A crew that comes to you
For video, we bring cameras, sound and lighting to your Staplehurst site and film on location.
Everything joined up
Web, design, branding, search, video and apps from one team, so nothing gets lost between suppliers.

Alongside Staplehurst, we regularly work with businesses in Marden, Headcorn, Frittenden, Cranbrook, Linton and the hamlets along the A229 such as Cross-at-Hand. We also cover the rest of Mid Kent, the Weald and the wider county.
