How does HDY help businesses to grow?
With a data and channel-first approach to content marketing that puts the audience right at the centre.
We are an independent, full-service content marketing agency. With decades of experience working for Fortune 500 businesses, we’ve got a killer combination of senior expertise spanning strategy, planning and creative.

Whatever the audience and whatever channel they’re in, we’ve got the expertise to create amazing content to hit them right in the feels.
Hats off to the team for absolutely smashing HDY’s first socially distanced shoot today for our client @birtellis to promote their amazing new pizza kits!
Equipped with masks and armed with plenty of pizza, we’re incredibly proud of our team for working to adhere to government guidance and create a safe environment for everyone involved! We can’t wait to see the final video – our mouths are watering at the images!🍕🤤
We amaze those we do business with
Far too often agencies focus on the big idea, retro-fitting audience and channel insights afterwards for a prettier picture. Award winning, maybe, but we’re focused on winning hearts, minds and bottom lines.
Never content with just satisfying clients, our mission is to amaze, getting to the heart of your audience and the channels they live in before coming up with the all-singing, all-dancing creative. Why? Because if the creative doesn’t work within channel it loses its meaning, and won’t perform. Time to turn mission failure into mission success.
Our clients
HDY has retained and ongoing content projects with an impressive set of regional, national and global clients spanning consumer and B2B across beauty, property, technology, education, travel & tourism and retail.

Our awards and accolades
Did we mention that we’re award winning, too? HDY has recently won prestigious awards from The Drum, PRCA and the City of Birmingham Business Awards within creativity and consultancy of the year categories.
Bostin’ Birmingham
HDY is situated in The Custard Factory, Digbeth, Birmingham’s buzzy creative quarter.
Originally built by Alfie Bird to produce Bird’s Custard in 1906 (yes, really!), today it retains its industrious edge with original Crittall windows, exposed steel and high ceilings – guaranteed to make any budding interior designer drool.
Today, The Custard Factory takes on a different guise altogether, housing an incredibly rich and diverse set of businesses, counting creative entrepreneurs, fanciful freelancers and an achingly cool start-up scene – all surrounded by wall-to-wall entertainment and more street food than you can shake a slice of sourdough at.
Counting an independent cinema, gym, urban golf venue, board game café and retro gaming arcade (not to mention bars galore), it’s no wonder that Digbeth recently appeared in The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Live guide, so why not work there too?! Now undergoing heaps of regeneration it’s the place to be.
We’re proud of our city. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
