Banc Media are a thriving agency specialising in organic search, paid search and
content creation for B2B and B2C industries. They help small businesses grow their
web presence and large multinationals maximise their digital performance.
Over the past decade Banc Media have grown in size, leading them to
acquire bigger premises to house their expanding team.
Rische Group were appointed to fit-out their new office space in Old Trafford,
Manchester, accompanied by ZSpace UK as principle designers.
The project was very much budget driven, placing importance on the specification of
products and materials used to ensure costs were kept to a minimum. Banc Media
wanted a quirky, homely space for their employees to enjoy.
In order to stay honest to the design concept and ideas, Rische built partition walls
throughout the space to create room for informal meeting areas, a breakout room
and a private office for both Directors. Glass partition walls were also installed to
ensure privacy while keeping a welcoming, open feel to individual areas.
Furthermore, rustic wall paneling and wallpaper was used to add to the homely feel,
accompanied by soft seating supplied by both Rische Group and a Banc Media
employee who hand crafted some items! Picnic benches were installed in the
breakout and kitchen area to bring employees together during lunch hours.
A bespoke media wall made out of ply wood and a bespoke wall to house the
popular ‘tam-tam’ stool were features of the open office, providing employees with
tools to hold un-scheduled meetings. Banc Media added personalised accessories to
the space to make the office their own.
