Urban River

Based in South Shields and operating from the Quadrus Centre in Boldon, Urban River has worked in Newcastle and the wider North East since 2002, extending its work to businesses across the UK. The agency describes itself as a full-service marketing and design operation, with a small team handling projects for private organisations, the public sector and charities. Its client base spans local and national businesses looking for combined web, branding and marketing support rather than a single specialist service. The agency's declared services cover web design and development, including e-commerce, bespoke builds, mobile-first sites and WordPress work, alongside branding, print design, marketing campaigns and SEO. It also lists advertising, content marketing, public relations, social media marketing and UX/UI design among its offerings. Branding work is framed around creating logos and visual identity intended to stand out to a target audience, while print design is positioned as literature meant to convey quality. Marketing campaigns are described as spanning multiple media channels to put a client's message in front of its audience, and SEO is presented as one of the core services supporting these campaigns. Enquiries are handled through direct contact via phone or a website message form, with the agency noting its long-standing presence in the region as part of how it approaches new projects.
