Strood sits on the west bank of the Medway, looking across Rochester Bridge at the castle and cathedral, but its economy has a character all of its own. Much of it is practical, hands-on work: the trade counters, workshops and distribution units of Medway City Estate, the smaller units along Knight Road, and the retail and leisure traffic drawn to Strood Retail Park and Medway Valley Leisure Park. Firms like these usually want marketing that is clear, quick to act on and worth the money.
We’re a creative and digital studio at Union Park in Maidstone, a short drive from Strood, and the Medway Valley line runs straight from Maidstone West to Strood too. That makes it easy for us to sit down with you at your premises, you’re always welcome at our office, and our video crew is in Strood whenever there’s filming to do. Here’s how we help:

A lot of agencies talk about being local. We’d rather show it through the detail: knowing that a Medway City Estate distributor and a café near the station need very different things from a website, and that a firm trading across the Medway Towns wants to be found in Rochester and Chatham as well as Strood.
Straightforward to work with
One team covers design, video, search and development, so you’re not juggling four suppliers. We’d rather talk things through face to face, at our Maidstone office or at your place, though a video call works too if that’s easier.
Crews that come to you
When there’s filming to do, our video team travels to Strood with the kit, whether that’s a unit on the estate, a shopfront or a stretch of the riverside.
Honest advice
We’ll tell you plainly if a smaller website, a tidy-up of your Google listing or a few short films would do more for you than a big project.
Areas we cover around Strood
As well as Strood itself, we work with businesses in Frindsbury, Wainscott, Upnor, Cuxton and Higham, across the river in Rochester and Chatham, and out on the Hoo Peninsula.

Working with Dope Studio in Strood: FAQs
Do you have an office in Strood?
No. Our office is at Union Park in Maidstone, a short drive away. We regularly come to Strood to meet clients and to film, and you're always welcome to visit us.
Can you film at our unit on Medway City Estate?
Yes. We regularly film at business premises and can work around opening hours, deliveries and site safety rules so the shoot doesn't get in the way of a working day.
Where would we meet to start a website?
Wherever suits you. We're happy to come to you in Strood, you're welcome at our Maidstone office just up the road, or we can start with a video call if that's easier.
Do you only work with Medway businesses?
No. We work across Kent and the UK, but we know Medway well and enjoy working with firms that trade across Strood, Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham.
