What Formed does

Formed Creative Ltd (trading as 'Formed' / 'Formed Creative') is a private limited company incorporated in England, UK (company registration number 8348431) and headquartered at Suite 2 & 3, Prime Business Centre, Bentley, Doncaster, DN5 0SJ. Established in January 2013, the firm operates as a full-service creative agency delivering web design and development, digital marketing, videography, photography, branding and graphic design, and social media management to clients ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises through to national brands. Documented engagements span education (Shrewsbury High School), food retail (Shazans), telecommunications and multi-sector (8point8 Group), automotive clubs (Supercar Driver), travel (Adam's Bay), real estate (Meadowhall Business Park), and health and wellness (Terri Ann Diet Plan).

The agency's core technical capability centres on WordPress-based website development, including responsive front-end builds, custom CMS implementations, e-commerce functionality, and bespoke features such as member hubs, booking systems, blog platforms, job-vacancy listings with CV uploaders, store finders, and payment integrations. Supporting integration stack includes Gravity Forms (enquiry capture), Google Analytics (visitor behaviour tracking), Google Maps (location display), YouTube feed embedding for client projects, and Google reCAPTCHA on complaint forms. Production capability is delivered by an in-house multi-disciplinary team covering design, video, and photography, enabling end-to-end creative execution under a single supplier relationship.

Revenue is generated through two streams: project-based fees for web design, development, branding, video, photography, and one-off digital campaigns, structured as a 50% deposit on commencement and a 50% balance on acceptance; and recurring monthly retainers covering ongoing digital marketing, website maintenance, and social media management. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, reliant on website portfolio showcasing, customer testimonials displayed on the homepage, free consultations, and lead-source tracking across Google, social media, recommendations, and advertising. There is no public listing, no disclosed institutional investor or parent company, and no recorded funding rounds.
