The Greenhouse buzzes with new arrivals
Specialist marketing consultancy We are Buzz has opened its first permanent office base at The Greenhouse in MediaCityUK.
Its commitment to the creative and digital hub follows a re-brand from JR Buzz to We are Buzz, reflecting its growing full-service expertise and client portfolio.
Headed by founder and director Claire Rawlinson, and supported by Head of Design Hannah Connick, We are Buzz specialises in providing marketing, creative and business management support to clients largely within the public transport industry and professional sectors.
Claire and Hannah, along with their team of five, provide support to clients including First Travel Solutions, System One Travel, Blackpool Transport, First Group, Go Ahead, One Bus and Stagecoach as well as a London based Pension Trustee.
Claire said: “After working virtually for seven years, it was becoming more apparent that we needed an office space for the team to call home. After dipping our toe in the water with Orega’s serviced apartments in Blue tower, we knew MediaCityUK was the place we needed to be. As a small but growing agency, we can tap into the expertise right on our doorstep and have already successfully collaborated on a number of projects with specialist agencies on site.
“Coupled with our re-brand which better reflects our growing presence, our base here is certainly helping to raise our profile within the industries we work in. We’re now in a position to evolve the business further.”
Lynn Haime, MediaCityUK’s Asset Manager said: “We’re delighted to welcome We are Buzz to the MediaCityUK community. The Greenhouse is all about giving small businesses the platform to expand and as their network widens, we’re confident even more opportunities will unfold.”
