Why we love designing bespoke websites for media agencies

We love creating website designs for media agencies. In this article, we detail what it takes to create our highly engaging, market-leading media agency websites.

Over the years we have designed websites for some of the biggest media agencies in the UK and beyond, for clients including Talon, Goodstuff, Total Media, Space & Time, and Incisive Media, among others. We have built a reputation, delivering what we feel, are some of the most impactful, engaging and standout media agency website designs in the industry.

What sets us apart 

As an agency, we are not only experts in designing and building websites but are also highly experienced with branding, whether creating brands from scratch or bringing the visualisation of the brand to life through website design.

Our ability to understand a brand—both visually and in terms of messaging—gives us an edge when creating media agency websites. We align our media agency website designs with core brand messaging and visual identity, using the site as an opportunity to evolve the branding and bring it to life in a way that improves user engagement and helps them stand out.

Having run agencies ourselves in various guises in the past, this has helped us understand what a business needs in terms of providing concise, high-impact designs that communicate the business and its services in a unique way that stands out from the crowd.

This combined with a track record working with a wide variety of media agencies means we are well-positioned to deliver great media agency website designs. 

 

Ensuring media agencies stand out

Establishing a point of clear difference, creating a visual impact, building credibility and communicating the key benefits to clients whilst appealing to target markets are all things we look at.

Whether it’s finding better ways to communicate a service offering, showing off a portfolio of clients and projects in a more exciting way, or simply just making sure a specific client base understands the benefits of working with your agency, we define these goals and address them through our scoping process.

Just as with a good media campaign, a media agency website should cut through the noise and stand out, delivering content in a way that is engaging, memorable and impactful. Our process is focused on aligning the website with the essence of the brand and messaging to create a standout and impact, to create an intuitive user experience that excites and engages all client types.

Through a tried and tested scope process, we work out what differentiates an agency, and how we can translate this both visually and through the user experience to create a website that sets them apart from the competition. We start from scratch, taking time to create brand keyword clouds, visual mood boards and competitor reviews to ensure we create a truly unique media agency website.

The Importance of Brand Messaging

When we create a media agency website design we don’t only look at the functionality of the website but delve deeply into all aspects of the branding and messaging and how best we can deliver that through the interface. We aim to capture the essence of the brand and its message and bring it to life through all aspects of the website design.

Typically, an agency will come to us with a brand guide, which can range from a few pages of colours and fonts to a more extensive guidelines document. We assess these brand elements to determine what will work on the website, then work with the client to refine and define their key messaging in a way that is appropriate to the website user experience.

Refining brand messaging is crucial for media agencies, as it helps them differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace. Our process involves articulating the ‘how’, ‘what’, and ‘why’ behind the brand, often leading to larger conversations that clarify and enhance the brand’s messaging and brand perception. Creating visual Impact!

The competitive nature of the media industry and the demands of their clients means that appearance is important, so creating visual impact is key. When it comes to design, this is where things get exciting. We pride ourselves on pushing creative boundaries.

Each project begins with a blank canvas, and we work carefully through a process of wireframing, mood boards, and various visual development stages to create a unique website design.

We can confidently say that no two media agency sites we have created are the same. We like to push creative boundaries where we can and will always aim to produce a media agency website design that is completely original, challenges the norm and delivers on the aims and goals defined in our scope.

The reason we love working with media agencies here at Above Digital is that the demands of the projects align perfectly with who we are as a digital agency.
