The brand design and illustration company Piction Media has moved its staff into offices at The Greenhouse building at MediaCityUK, where they have been joined by the memorably titled computer gaming business Stompy Blondie Games.
Piction Media specialises in creating 3D visuals and brand image systems. Its major clients include the BBC and the cosmetics retailer Superdrug. Its director, Matthew Kay, cited the development’s sustainability credentials as one reason it was chosen as the company’s new office base in the northwest.
“As our business is creative collaboration, this is the ideal environment for our digital studio,” he said. “This, combined with its BREEAM status and commitment to sustainability, attracted us to MediaCityUK and enables us to put down roots following our relocation from London.”
Stompy Blondie Games, meanwhile, is a business in its infancy. Its founder, Fiona Burrows, is keen to begin forging worthwhile relationships with fellow start-ups and more well-established companies based at The Greenhouse.
The Greenhouse is among the leading office space sites made available as part of the ongoing MediaCityUK scheme, which aims to radically transform Salford Quays into an internationally renowned and competitive media industry hub.
The regeneration initiative is close to being matched in scope and ambition by others in the northwest, including Peel Waters and Elsemere Quays, where expansive plans are set to see the Peel Group redevelop vast tracts of land.
MediaCityUK is now home to major BBC and ITV studios, office facilities, and the operating bases of dozens of less well-known but fast-growing media organisations.
Editor’s notes: As of June 2024, The Greenhouse at Salford Quays no longer offers office space.
