Key Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of businesses does DEPT work with from their Manchester base?
DEPT serves a broad range of mid-to-large organisations across sectors. With 100–200 people on their team, they're equipped to handle complex, multi-channel digital projects that typically require coordination across strategy, design, development, and marketing disciplines.
Can DEPT handle everything from strategy through to execution and campaign management?
Yes. Their service offering spans Digital Strategy (planning and direction), Web Development (building solutions), Advertising (paid campaigns), and Content Marketing (ongoing engagement). This breadth means you can work with them across multiple phases rather than coordinating separate vendors.
Are there advantages to working with a Manchester-based agency rather than London?
Manchester has a thriving digital sector and lower overhead costs than London, which can mean faster project delivery and competitive pricing. Being based there also means they understand the regional business context whilst still drawing on global experience as part of a larger agency group.
What's the typical engagement process with DEPT?
Most engagements begin with a Digital Strategy phase to align on goals and approach, followed by execution work (development, paid advertising, or content production depending on your needs). They're structured to work both on one-off projects and longer-term retained partnerships.
