Our History
Southmedia was founded in late 2011, starting out in a small office in a community centre on the Southmead estate in Bristol (say it out loud, you’ll get our little in-joke).
Alongside our commercial work, we worked with local charities, community groups and voluntary organisations to do digital good.
Since 2016, we’ve been located in the beautiful city of Sheffield. Our focus has shifted to working predominantly with third sector organisations and promoting a more accessible, sustainable digital experience.
“Southmedia are enthusiastic and responsive. Their communication is clear and they remained flexible and helpful as our project’s complexity expanded and new issues or needs emerged. They are always ready to find solutions and ways to help us implement things we need to change.”
