Jason said: “We started out in 2006 and our first big client was Disney Store. Since then we have grown by word of mouth and have built up a great reputation as a creative agency which delivers some tremendous clients.
“Business is great so it was an easy decision to open a new office in Bristol, take on more talented, skilled creatives and expand both our capacity and operations.
“We regularly have over 130 projects on the go for our 17 globally known clients, and we have exciting times ahead.
“I’m really proud to head up a North East creative agency that brings work back from all over the world to the region. With the opening of our new studio in Bristol, which rivals London and Manchester for its vibrant and existing creative scene, we’re really excited to be opening a new chapter for Blue Kangaroo Design.”
