Launch bold campaigns with these 5 best creative agencies in Newcastle
We helped a friend launch her handmade skincare line, and honestly, the products were good. But her Instagram feed looked like five different brands fighting for attention, the website colours didn’t match, and paid ads were targeting… well, basically everyone.
Working with a creative agency in Newcastle would have aligned her visuals, refined her messaging, and narrowed her audience to people actually ready to buy. Creativity wasn’t the problem—direction was.
After watching her struggle longer than necessary, we decided to compile a list that could help businesses turn scattered ideas into something cohesive and profitable.
How much does a creative agency charge in Newcastle?
Creative agencies in Newcastle typically charge between £1,000 and £5,000 for branding projects and £2,000 to £10,000+ for website design, depending on scope and complexity.
1. The Unknown Creative
Address: 6-8 Charlotte Square, upon Tyne NE1 4XF
Contact Details: +441912049078
Business Hours: Monday to Friday: 8 AM – 6 PM
The Unknown Creative was founded in 2009 and operates from 6–8 Charlotte Square in Newcastle, with additional offices in London and Darlington.
With a team of roughly 11–50 staff, they sit in that solid mid-sized bracket, not a freelancer setup and not a corporate giant either.
We genuinely appreciate that the projects begin with stakeholder interviews, market audits, and message testing before any design work starts.
On top of that, their brand identity work includes new brand creation, refreshes, and sub-brand systems with structured guidelines. They also handle bespoke website builds, motion graphics, film production, and sound design fully in-house.
In fact, 80% of their clients are international, and they have maintained a 14-year partnership with Saks Hair & Beauty.
However, pricing isn’t published online, so you will need a discovery call to see the figures.
Incredible attention to detail
“John and the team at The Unknown Creative are super creative with an eye for design and always pay incredible attention to detail. They’re friendly, helpful and considered in everything they do. All of the design work they do for us at Saks UK is of the highest standard and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch design agency in Newcastle and beyond.”

Extremely happy with the results
“As a Director of Darlington Football Club we have worked alongside the Unknown Creative to redesign our web site and develop our overall branding and corporate sponsorship brochures. To say we are delighted is an understatement and as a club we are extremely happy with the results which have resulted in increasing business. They approach their work in a confident enthusiastic manner and I couldn’t rate The Unknown Creative highly enough.”

2. Ground Creative Agency
Address: High Bridge Works, 31-39 High Bridge, upon Tyne NE1 1EW
Contact Details: +441912058572
Business Hours: Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
Ground Creative Agency is led by founder Nathan Holloway. He brings over 14 years of branding and hospitality design experience, which makes the studio focus on strategy-led identity systems.
Projects begin with brand strategy frameworks rooted in research and positioning. From there, they develop full identities covering logos and packaging, particularly for hospitality and lifestyle brands.
We appreciate that they also handle naming strategy, messaging frameworks, photography, and videography under one roof.
Just so you know, they are not a deep UX or technical product agency, so complex digital product builds or data-led platforms may require another specialist partner.
Even so, the hospitality focus is clear in projects like Fourplay and Meat Stack. And their multi-year partnerships with Haus Holdings show continuity, which says a lot about delivery.
Their portfolio and active Instagram presence with around 5,000 followers reflect consistent output and public engagement that make their projects stand out.
Great from start to finish
“Ground created some branding for the workplace wellbeing offer I deliver. The whole process was great from start to finish; from the creative input and discussion around what I wanted to achieve, to the insight into translating what I’d said to the final product. The final images, font and branding were just what I’d wanted and so many people comment on how great the website is, and how strong the logo and branding are that Ground created.”
– Jo Holloway-Green, Google Review
Took the project beyond expectations
“A forward thinking agency with the clients vision at mind but the creativity to take the project beyond expectations. Delighted with the work produced and has also left me with a clearer mind on how to take the business and brand further! Thank you so much!”

3. Noise Creative
Address: Unit 26, 7-15 Pink Lane, NE1 5DW
Contact Details: +447832999473
Business Hours: Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
Noise Creative was founded in April 2018 as a micro-agency with 1–3 staff members, led by Adam Baldwin. They are registered under advertising and management consultancy SIC codes.
Their core work centres on digital marketing, paid advertising, and WordPress and Shopify web design. Campaigns are engineered around conversion tracking, KPIs, and measurable lead generation rather than vague awareness metrics.
We love that their social advertising covers Instagram and Facebook, with structured sales funnels and clear ROI planning. Web projects often include one year of post-launch support, plus content edits and technical assistance.
They also run £60 digital audits and around £300 bootcamps, so smaller teams can build in-house skills instead of outsourcing everything.
Notably, their case results show 300% sales growth for a fashion brand, a 100% ROI for an art gallery, and 241 leads with 31 calls in a month for a property client.
On the flip side, their paid social requires a separate ad spend of at least £300 per month on top of agency fees, increasing the total budget commitment.
Responded to queries immediately
“Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with and has created the perfect new website for our company. He responded to all our queries immediately and got the job done in a much quicker time period than we expected. We’d definitely recommend him to others and work with him again in future.”
– Matthew Aston, Google Review
Knowledgeable on design
“Adam at Noise Creative has been a pleasure to work with on my project. He was quick to respond to any queries and did some great video walk throughs of the work that he had done which really helped in the process. He is very knowledgable on design and we are thrilled with the final outcome. Highly recommend to all businesses.”

4. JUMP
Address: Floor 5, Siemens House, 5 Carliol Square, NE1 6UF
Contact Details: +441912331454
Business Hours: Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
JUMP has operated since 2007 and is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6UF. With 11–50 staff across design, development, and marketing, the structure supports proper in-house delivery rather than outsourced builds.
Brand strategy, print, animation, and motion sit alongside responsive bespoke CMS platforms and e-commerce development.
They also handle app development, hosting, and ongoing support, which makes the digital output feel expertly managed. Paid media, social campaigns, and email marketing are delivered internally, linking creative work to traffic and conversion metrics.
On the downside, there are no pricing or starter packages published online, so budget planning requires a direct enquiry.
Nonetheless, UX research and UI evaluation are part of their process, which keeps web projects grounded in usability and measurable performance.
And, in fact, in 2021–22, they reached seven-figure turnover and secured a £150,000 investment from NEL Fund Managers, signalling operational growth.
They work across NHS projects, councils, and the hospitality sector, demonstrating sectoral flexibility. Overall, their trademarked “we say how high” identity feels commercially confident.
Responsive and easy to work with
“We engaged JUMP to support us with our marketing at a point where we wanted to take a more strategic and joined‑up approach. They began with an in‑depth strategy phase, taking the time to properly understand our organisation, our purpose and the challenges we face. This resulted in a comprehensive marketing strategy that clearly aligned with our wider organisational objectives. We are now in the implementation phase of that strategy and are already seeing positive signs, particularly through increased website traffic and improved social media engagement. While we know this is longer‑term work, these early results are encouraging. JUMP are attentive, responsive, easy to work with, and they bring creative thinking to discussions. Overall, JUMP have provided both strategic clarity and practical support, and we value their thoughtful, collaborative approach.”
– Victoria Jones, Google Review
Fantastic, and the process was brilliant
“Jump helped bring to life my brand from the logo, the branding and the website. The team are fantastic and the process was brilliant. The continued support from them is also greatly appreciated, from the running of the website and any questions I’ve got whilst getting this start up running!”
– Lizzie Lind, Google Review
5. Arttia Creative
Address: The Core, Bath Lane, upon Tyne NE4 5TF
Contact Details: +441915007118
Arttia Creative was founded around 2007–2008 as a small 2–9-person team working with a wider specialist collective on larger scientific projects.
Their focus is tightly set on life sciences, healthcare, and pharma. Also, their brand strategy and communications frameworks are designed specifically for regulated, technically complex sectors.
We value that website projects are custom-built with SEO foundations and UX structured around scientific content and research journeys.
They also optimise for niche healthcare search terms and AI search visibility, backed by 20+ years of combined web and SEO experience. Creative output goes beyond logos, covering scientific copywriting, infographics, and investor decks.
Their clients include GSK, Verily, Cornell University, and Newcastle University, which demonstrates real-sector credibility rather than surface-level claims.
But since they are in the deep life sciences specialism, this may limit their appeal to lifestyle or retail brands.
Queries are always answered quickly
“I’ve been working with Arttia this year to build our SEO, redesign our website and improve our online communications. They provide excellent service with clear transparent processes, phone, zoom and in person meetings. There’s no jargon used. I can easily understand the process as the language used in straight forward. My queries are always answered quickly.”
– Mary Gillmore (Beauty Essence), Google Review
Has been a positive experience
“Working with Belinda to build my website has been a very positive experience. She has guided me each step of the process and has built a very professional website. I regularly get positive feedback about my site www.debbiedonaldson.co.uk”
