Branding and design agency, Lyfe Studio, which was founded by Craig Fell and Ben Hamman in 2019, has relocated for the second time in twelve months to accommodate its rapidly expanding team.
Now based in Ancoats in a 14-person office on Silk Street, the strategic move to Manchester city centre from Handforth has been devised to attract the best talent in the industry as Lyfe sets its sights on tripling the agency’s headcount from 4 to 12. Operating a classic agency team structure, everyone from account managers to creatives are being brought onboard to not only provide clients with the best-in-class brand design work, but also the all-important flawless account management that the studio is well-known for.
With growth a firm target for Lyfe, it is also proudly launching a new design subscription model to support businesses with their full spectrum of branding and design communication requirements. The new for 2025 offering provides unlimited access to Lyfe’s design services to support clients through the delivery of the high quality, consistent communications from branding to print and digital, all for a fixed monthly cost. With strategic account management provided as standard, the delivery promises to be efficient, offer excellent value and supreme quality, backed up by market leading software and systems.
Support from Barclays makes all of this a certainty and lends an added layer of security to the studio’s ambitious and exciting growth plans.
Lyfe Studio has been practising what it preaches, with a fresh new look and feel for the brand already in situ and an overhauled website underway.
Craig Fell, founder and managing director, said: “We set our sights on this move from the beginning so it’s really exciting to see it finally come to life. A mixture of hard work and future forecasting has definitely paid off.”
He continued:
“Our new subscription model has been in planning for some time too, and was borne out of our many conversations with clients and marketing managers who were increasingly frustrated with the traditional agency fee structure. Paying per job or by the hour can become prohibitively costly, while a subscription model removes that uncertainty and allows clients to benefit from a superior level service that is focussed on creative output and value, not unnecessary administration. There’s no doubt that businesses require cost stability more than ever and the reaction already has been testament to that, so we’re looking forward to bringing new clients to Lyfe!”
