Clicky is opening a new studio in Chester

From 1st January 2027, Clicky Media is opening a second studio in Chester. We started life in Chester and spent 18 years there before moving to Manchester in 2024. The new studio takes us back to where it all began, working alongside our Manchester HQ.

It feels like a homecoming, and the reason behind it is simple. We want a collaborative space where the team can get together, share ideas and do their best work side by side.

Why come back?

Chester is where Clicky was born, and where we spent our first 18 years growing into an agency trusted by brands right across the UK. It's where our story started, and it still feels like home. Coming back gives our team a place to come together in the city where it all started.

We continue to work in a hybrid way, and we want studios where our clients and team need us. There's been growing demand from the team to get together more often, and a studio in Chester, just a 6-minute walk from the station, makes that easy.

Manchester stays our HQ

Our Manchester studio in the Northern Quarter remains a proper workspace for the team, and it has just had an exciting makeover. The ground and first floors of the building have been transformed into a new café, a lounge, extra meeting rooms and a co-working space (read about the makeover here).

The team still has its own floor, but now has somewhere new to work from when they want a change of scene, more rooms to meet in when ours are booked out and a comfortable space to welcome clients over a good coffee.

Manchester will remain the main home for our events, and we'll be bringing some of them to Chester in the new year too.

Two studios, one team. Our team will work across both studios, so whether you work with us in Chester or Manchester, you get the same people, the same processes and the same focus on results.

A space built for collaboration

Our mission is to grow ambitious brands by putting AI to work and people in charge. The technology does more of the heavy lifting every year, but our best ideas still come from people in a room together. The Chester studio is designed for exactly that.

It gives the team:

  • A shared space to get together, plan and solve problems face to face
  • Room for workshops, strategy days and team sessions
  • A place to learn from each other and keep our close-knit culture strong

For clients, nothing changes. You get the same team, the same processes and the same focus on results, with a great place to meet us when you want to.

Come and say hello

We get the keys to the Chester studio on 1 January 2027 and will be refurbishing it through January and February. Once it's finished, we'd love to show you around. Wherever you're based in the UK, if you're looking for a digital marketing partner that puts results first, drop us a line and we'll put the kettle on.
