Digital agency in MediaCity move

EXTRAVISION PLANNING TO RECRUIT ACROSS VARIOUS AREAS IN BID TO PROVIDE SPRINGBOARD FOR FUTURE GROWTH

DIGITAL agency Extravision is planning on further expansion following its move to MediaCityUK’s latest creative and tech hub, Tomorrow.

The business is planning to attract new recruits across sales, development and design, and hopes the new office will provide a springboard for growth.

Extravision offers a full range of email marketing services along with application design and development.

Specialising in creative digital campaigns for lead generation, the company started out as a small email service provider in 2004 but has since developed to offer cutting-edge technology to clients. With accounts in sectors including healthcare, retail, hospitality and communication, Extravision has delivered digital campaigns for clients including EE, BT, Barburrito, Greene King, The NHS and Farrow & Ball.

Simon Hill from Extravision said: “As a digital and creative agency, we wanted to be in a technology-led environment and the Tomorrow building is a perfect fit.

“We have big plans for growth over the next few months and our new office at MediaCityUK is crucial to this – it’s a great, unique location with strong transport links, a good social life and it’s a great place to bring clients.

“We’re very excited to be joining the community of creatives here.”

MediaCityUK is currently home to BBC North, ITV, Coronation Street, SIS LIVE, the University of Salford, dock10 and more than 250 creative, media and tech businesses.

Extravision’s move comes at a busy time for MediaCityUK, as cereal and snacks giant Kellogg’s has just announced it will be moving its UK headquarters to MediaCityUK, comprising three floors in Orange and 420 staff.

New venues, The Botanist and The Alchemist are both soon to be opening and construction is underway for Lightbox, a luxury apartment scheme.

Lynn Haime, asset manager at MediaCityUK, said: “It’s fantastic to see ambitious companies like Extravision increasing their exposure in the digital market and there is no better place than MediaCityUK to help them achieve this.”
