Deciding on which part of the industry you’d like to work in is one thing, but knowing where to find relevant and inspiring workplaces is another. And with so many creative companies across the UK, expanding your knowledge of who’s out there can certainly give you a leg up. So every few weeks, we’ll be helping you discover new studios, agencies and more by highlighting a range of them up and down the British isles. This week, we’re heading to the coastal gem, Bournemouth!

Known for its beautiful beaches and green spaces, culture and entertainment offerings – such as the multidisciplinary Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival and summer-long entertainment programme Festival Coast Live!, the city attracts millions of visitors annually.

But far from being only a tourist destination, Bournemouth is known year-round as the hub of Dorset’s flourishing creative and digital industry scene, with over 450 creative agencies across the county congregating in the city. It’s also a great source of fresh talent, with 10 percent of the seaside city’s population being made up of students, providing the city and UK’s creative firms and studios with a continuous supply of exciting new insight.

In fact, Bournemouth University has developed a reputation for consistently producing impressive post-production talent – with graduates having gone on to work on big-budget Oscar-winning Hollywood films such as Gravity, Interstellar and both instalments of Avatar, to name just a few.

It’s safe to say that the city of Bournemouth offers more than just beautiful scenery and lively entertainment. And to help you explore its thriving creative scene, here, we’ve collated 12 studios for you to check out – from brand and digital design, to marketing and brand communications.
