Broadgate Creative

What Broadgate Creative does

Revenue is generated on a professional services basis through project-based engagements and ongoing retainers, with more than 60% of clients retained for at least five years. The operating model is intentionally small — a tightknit team of fewer than ten specialists led by Creative Director Chris Cooling and Communications Director David Whelpton, who are directly involved in client work, supplemented by a network of trusted associates. The technology stack is standard for a creative agency: design software, WordPress CMS, motion graphics and animation tools, Mailchimp for email, Turtl and Issuu for digital document delivery, and HTML email production. No proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed. Geographic delivery extends beyond the UK through long-running enterprise engagements (notably AVEVA's 30-country marketing rollout since 2016), although the physical footprint remains a single Aylesbury office.
