A Tyneside creative media agency is set to create new jobs after securing a six-figure investment from the North East Small Loan Fund.
Newcastle-based Media Borne provides video production, photography, animation and creative services to a growing number of clients, ranging from North East SMEs to international blue chip companies and the NHS. The agency was set up five years ago by managing director Chris Thompson, who at first ran it as a side venture alongside his civil engineering job before turning it into a full-time career.
Now Media Borne is using its investment, secured with help from regional fund management firm NEL Fund Managers, to build on its range of creative services with a focus on live-streaming technology, e-learning and high-end video production. The agency is also boosting its presence in the broadcast sector, with a number of creative documentaries in development, and says it will invest in the new staff it needs to support its growth.
