Media Street

What Media Street does

Media Street Ltd is a privately held, founder-led digital agency headquartered in Exeter, United Kingdom, operating under the leadership of Managing Director Charlie Street. The company delivers a full-stack digital services portfolio covering four interlocking categories: website design (standard, e-commerce, subscription, and WordPress builds), digital marketing (SEO, paid search, social media, content, link building, conversion optimization, and email), web hosting (shared Linux, WordPress-optimized, VPS, domain registration, and Office 365 reselling), and graphic design (branding, logos, stationery, and merchandise). Client work is executed primarily on WordPress and Joomla CMS platforms with proprietary payment gateway integrations (SagePay and Worldpay plugins published under GNU license), and the company runs its own cloud hosting infrastructure powered by Dell and Cisco hardware with Varnish caching, 100% renewable energy, and automated off-site backups, distributed across Manchester, London, and Paris data centers.

The customer base is heavily skewed toward small and medium businesses in the Exeter and Devon region, with named logos spanning healthcare, hospitality, retail, finance, manufacturing, construction, energy, F&B, recreation, and charity – supplemented by international hosting customers across Europe, Asia, USA, and Africa. Pricing is hybrid: one-time website design projects requiring 50% upfront with 15-day payment terms, recurring hosting subscriptions from £29.99/year, monthly marketing campaigns from £299, and subscription-based website packages billed monthly. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct website enquiry, phone, email, regional events (e.g., South West Business Expo), and local SEO targeting South West UK towns.

Commercially, Media Street has operated for over a decade without external funding, has no parent company or subsidiaries, and reports a headcount of 1–10. Recognition includes Google Partner status and selection as a Top 30 UK digital agency, Parliamentary Review feature, and consecutive regional SME awards in 2022 and 2023. Revenue, ARR, and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed; the company is GDPR/CCPA-aware and processes payments through PayPal and GoCardless.
