We are a bespoke team of Digital specialists who can bring your ideas to life.

That means that we have strategic planners, digital marketers, creative thinkers, html producers, technical architects and developers, project managers and data analysts all under one roof.

Whether this means making the search engines sit up and take notice or engaging with social media, we can provide the level of expertise and service you'll need to take your digital strategy to the next level.

At the end of the day, your digital presence is only as good as the content that populates it which is where
we can really add value to
your project.

We have over 40,000sq ft of creative studio space from which we can provide everything from professional photography and video to copywriting, PR and brand building.

One of the great advantages
of digital is that once your audience is engaged, we can interpret the results to demonstrate exactly how
and why.

This information is crucial in refining your digital vision and opening an ongoing dialogue with your customer that forms the building blocks of long term brand loyalty.

We are a business that has been at the cutting edge of creativity for over 30 years.

Measure twice, cut once

Manchester Music Speaks

As an agency that has built its reputation on delivering innovative creative solutions, we understand just how important it is to take the time to get to know you.

We understand that every organisation is unique and pride ourselves on developing tailor made strategies that really work.

When looking for a new Digital partner, you'll hear the same things again and again - "You'll need a Content Management System, an e-Commerce Platform, SEO, PPC and so on." In fact, we bet you've already heard it.

Don't be blinded by the science - we're not here to sell you a one-size-fits-all solution with expensive bells and pricey whistles you don't really need. That's not what we do. We're here to develop a custom solution that puts you streets ahead of your competitors. That's how we keep ahead of ours.

The thing about Photolink Digital is that you'll know what you're getting from the very start. We don't believe in things like 'turnkey solutions so you can rest assured that your solution will be individual in every way - but unlike with many in the business, you won't find yourself paying a Saville Row price for your bespoke tailoring.

E-commerce insights

We breathe, eat and sleep the internet. But even more importantly we shop it. That's why we consider every ecommerce project we embark on a true labour of love.

In our opinion, online retailing has become stuck in a bit of a rut – minute by minute analytics, obsessive monitoring of competitors, social technographics. It’s all very confusing.

Our philosophy is deceptively simple. Let's get back to basics.

We believe that online retail doesn't have to be confusing. We believe that the secret to success and profitability lies in attracting the right customers at the lowest cost, providing them with a great brand experience, making it easy for them to spend their money and giving them a great reason to come back again and again and again.

Get all this right and you'll make more than just a sale. You'll make a customer for life.

It's an approach that we feel very strongly about indeed, and so do our clients. Take a look at a few of the companies that have come around to our way of thinking.

Public sector expertise

We're passionate about the public sector as it's rewarding to work with. In fact, we consider it one of our key specialisms.

The big advantage of working with an agency that really knows the public sector is our genuine understanding of the world you work in. For instance, we know that our solutions must look impressive but not go overboard – we're worried about the taxpayer's pocket, too. We also know that every solution must help you towards improving efficiencies if you're to justify the expense. As with all our work, Photolink Digital believes very strongly in social inclusivity so you can rely on us to provide you only with ideas and solutions that meet best practice guidelines. We wouldn't have it any other way in that respect.

Despite the restrictions and complications, we enjoy working with the Public Sector because it's a pleasure to be involved with digital projects that benefit everyone.

Here are a few organisations that we've worked in partnership with to make a difference...

Customer satisfaction

When it comes to our digital work, we think our clients say it best...

‘In March 2009, we received over 5,000 individual vehicle enquiries – well above our projection for this time of year...’

Tina Ashurst (Head of Internet Sales) – Lookers plc

‘In the first week of our new site going live, we received over 500 requests for our personal financial services. It was great to see such an immediate return on our investment.’

Julian Urry (Managing Director) – Cash Generator

‘Our bespoke intranet site has provided a platform for transformation at Chorley Council and we were delighted when it was recognised by SOCITM nationally, who described it as ‘a model of how an intranet should be done’. The new site has allowed us to make significant efficiency savings and paid for itself within six months. Photolink brought skill, enthusiasm and passion to the team and we’d recommend them to anyone.’

Shelley Wright (Head of Communications, Marketing and Tourism) –
Chorley Borough Council

‘Photolink Digital really took the time to understand what we wanted to communicate with our website so it was no surprise when we started receiving over 100,000 hits a month.’

Stuart Aiken (New Media Manager) – Visit Manchester

‘Despite having an award-winning website, our on-line performance wasn't anywhere near where we wanted it to be and we knew it wasn’t future proof, which is why we developed a completely new site to enable us to achieve anticipated sales performance. Photolink's digital expertise was invaluable in both the design development and SEO solutions, helping us achieve a growth of 200% year on year.’

Charlie Pogson (Director of Marketing and Design) – Simon Jersey

‘December is always a crucial period for Littlewoods Online, even more so in the current challenging climate, but Photolink Digital’s fantastic ‘12 days of Christmas’ campaign contributed towards a 28% lift in like for like sales which really helped us steal a march on our competitors.’

Dave Dyson (Head of Design) – Shop Direct Group
