Introduction

As Root Fifty-Two celebrates its 15th anniversary, it's the perfect moment to reflect on the agency's remarkable journey. From its inception as a print design studio to its evolution into a full-service creative and marketing agency, Root Fifty-Two has consistently set high standards. Over time the agency has expanded its services and never stopped in its unwavering commitment to client success and building connections for the businesses they work with. 

A Visionary Approach to Design

Founded by Director Kimberley Thompson, Root Fifty-Two began as a specialised design-for-print studio. Kimberley's vision was clear,  to offer unparalleled design services that would help businesses stand out in a crowded market. At the time her Dad owned a print company LBH Litho in Blackburn and this worked as the perfect partnership. While the initial focus was on print, Kimberley foresaw the need for a more comprehensive suite of services to meet the evolving demands of her clients.

Becoming a Full-Service Agency

Recognising the multifaceted needs of modern businesses, Root Fifty-Two expanded its service offerings. Today, the agency provides a holistic range of services, including branding, graphic design, web design & development, digital marketing, marketing strategy, and copywriting. This transition was not merely an addition of services but a strategic move to offer integrated solutions that drive tangible results. For many businesses Root Fifty-Two works as an outsourced Creative & Marketing department. 

Scaling Expertise

From its humble beginnings as a one-person operation, Root Fifty-Two has grown into a formidable team of 15 experts, each specialising in different facets of marketing and creative design. The team's collective expertise allows the agency to tackle complex projects and deliver solutions that exceed client expectations. 

A New Chapter at Slater Terrace

To accommodate its growing team and expanding operations, Root Fifty-Two transitioned from its initial location at the Business First Centre to the iconic Slater Terrace in Burnley in 2022. This move signifies not just physical growth but also the agency's commitment to fostering a creative environment that stimulates innovation. Root Fifty-Two are proud to be a Burnley business and well positioned to become the biggest agency in Lancashire.
