Our roots…

Root Fifty-Two started in 2008 as a one-woman graphic design venture founded by our Director, Kimberley. Inspired by her father, Ian, who owned a printing business, Kimberley began creating logos, brochures, and print materials for local businesses in and around Burnley and Lancashire.

As her reputation grew, clients increasingly sought her expertise for a wider range of services. Slowly but surely, the team has since grown from just one woman in her 20’s to the full-service creative powerhouse of 14 that we are today.

Where we are today…

Today, we provide a comprehensive service for brands and businesses, covering everything from branding and web design to web development, site maintenance, digital marketing, SEO, copywriting and more. With a whole host of talent under one roof, we’re proud to partner with clients across the UK and internationally.

Crucially, we approach each project with the same passion and zest that defined our early days, but now backed by the resources and expertise of a full-service agency.

Driven by a set of collective values

1. We bring energy

Everything we do is driven by a contagious enthusiasm and passion for creativity, ideas, and elevation of our clients and ourselves. We value listening to everyone’s ideas and are proud of the supportive and expressive energy we bring to the studio.

2. We have talent

Supporting a culture of growth and innovation, we’re inspired by the bright sparks we’ve got in our team and the visions we have. We’re confident in the knowledge and expertise we’ve got on board, and we always push each other to go further.

3. We are authentic

We focus on being open and honest, and won’t pretend to be something we’re not. Our interactions are down-to-earth, transparent and sincere with our clients and one another, motivating us to build meaningful partnerships and collaborations that last.

4. We build connections

We’re committed to building long-lasting relationships with all of our clients - in effect, becoming extended members of your team. We love getting to know the unique stories that make up each business and that our partnerships become friendships over time.
