THINKING CAPS, NOT FLAT CAPS.

We’re based in Huddersfield, home to just aboutevery stereotyped ‘northerner’ that stumbles intoAlbert Square.

It’s also a town with a reputation for creativity,which inspires our thinking a lot. At The EngineRoom we’re all designers, so ideas, creativity andhow they influence the minds of your customersare pretty key to everything we do.

It might smell like the Queen Vic here sometimes,but it’s certainly much more interesting.

RESULTS COUNT.

Ok so it’s true that our mums and dads still thinkwe draw pretty pictures for a living. In a way,they’re right (don’t tell them this). All people aredrawn to images in some way, that’s what gooddesign does... it persuades.

Couple those design skills with strategic thinkingand you have a plan. A plan that’s geared towardsdelivering results, whether that’s in hard bottomline cash or increased sales leads and enquiries.

CUSTOMER LOVE.

Not in a yacky ‘tongues’ sort of way,but more a case of respect,appreciation and collaboration.

We’re nearly 10 years old and stillworking with many clients that werethere on day one, so we must bedoing something right.
