A small team for small businesses.
We started Brightloom in 2017 because independent businesses deserved better than templated packages and jargon-filled reports. Nine years on, that is still the whole point.
Weaving marketing into the everyday.
Our founder Amara spent ten years at big London agencies, watching small clients get the junior team and the leftover budget. In 2017 she moved back to Manchester and set up a studio that only works with independents.
The name comes from the old mills around our Ancoats studio: a loom turns single threads into something strong. We do the same with your marketing, joining social, search, ads and brand into one plan that holds together.
Today we are a team of five, working with around forty businesses at any one time. We keep it that way on purpose, so every client gets real attention.
Three promises to every client.
Honest advice
If a channel will not work for you, we say so, even if it means a smaller invoice.
Numbers that matter
We report on calls, bookings and sales. Likes are nice; customers pay the bills.
You stay in control
Your accounts, your content, your data. Leave any time and take everything with you.
The people behind your marketing.
