30 years of delivering intelligent marketing solutions
A lot has changed since 1994 and we continually develop and expand our capabilities to challenge the norm and find new ways of thinking and engaging. Independently owned, we have enjoyed over ten years of consistent growth, and serve over 80 clients across the UK from our converted barn in Warton, near Preston, Lancashire.
The ICG family
We promote a sense of togetherness that we call the ‘ICG family’. The agency comprises of 22 talented and creative people – they are our most important asset.
We have a staff structure that encourages openness, creativity and a sense of collaboration, with a non-hierarchical structure where all ideas are equally valued, no matter how many years you’ve been here. Over half of our team has been with ICG for more than five years, with many having been with us for 10 years or more.
Our Values
Transparent and open
We are a hard working team that operates in a transparent and open environment. Everyone’s ideas and inputs are valued. We pull together to create a happy supportive workplace.

Creativity at our heart
We blend creativity with marketing and business expertise. We want our clients to love what we create and see the difference it makes to their business or organisation.

Our Studio
Our home is a converted barn that we have transformed into a hub of creativity. With stand up desks and openplan workspaces, our bright, modern studio encourages collaboration, movement and ideas.
We have a number of break-out areas as well as a pool table and darts room, cafe, outdoor eating space and photography studio. It’s a warm and welcoming environment for client meetings, working lunches and to work directly alongside clients to meet tight deadlines.
