St John’s in Manchester is fast cementing its reputation as a growing media industry hub in the city after announcing McCann as its latest signing.
Department’s Bonded Warehouse is already home to leading global agencies, including Dentsu, Weber Shandwick and Grayling.
This month, Department will welcome its latest high profile signing – globally renowned advertising agency, McCann.
Open Partners, one of the UK’s biggest and fastest-growing fully independent agencies, is now in its fourth year at Bonded Warehouse.
The agency’s sustained growth at Department has seen them expand to over 140 employees.
Jon Greenhalgh, managing director at Open Partners said: “Bonded Warehouse has been the perfect home for our growing team. It’s a creative, collaborative space that gives our people the flexibility to meet, connect and share ideas in a modern environment designed to inspire.
“The facilities here really support our remote-first working approach – from high-quality meeting rooms to casual breakout areas and on-site café, which make it a fantastic setting for both internal collaboration, client meetings, and pitches.
“We’ve really enjoyed our time here and look forward to continuing our journey at Bonded Warehouse.”
