When we put our heads together, we are Hydra Creative.

Forged in Sheffield in 2009, we have ridden the ups and downs of the past 16 years to become a strategic digital marketing agency that delivers high impact business solutions for our clients.

But we couldn't do any of this without our outstanding team. Investing heavily in expert strategists and digital marketers, talented designers, developers and videographers, and a client accounts team that coordinate all this magic so that our clients achieve the results they need, our in-house capabilities are hard to beat.

We are immensely proud of our brilliant team - they’ve made us who we are today. Over 60% of our staff have been part of the Hydra journey for more than two years, and many far longer. This loyalty speaks volumes about the supportive, collaborative environment we’ve built together as a team, where people are encouraged to grow, thrive, and truly make their mark as valued individuals. From junior starters to senior specialists, everyone plays a role in shaping our culture, our work, and our future.

At Hydra, collaboration isn’t a buzzword - it’s how we operate day to day. Our open-plan three-floor studio (complete with giant stand-up meeting desk on the middle floor) is a hive of shared creativity. Whether it’s developers sitting in on SEO strategy sessions, or designers pitching in on video storyboards, we work as one team, bringing different perspectives together to create truly joined-up solutions for our clients.

This approach not only sharpens our ideas – it makes coming to work every day feel like being part of something exciting.

The digital landscape doesn’t stand still - and neither do we. From emerging AI tools and shifts in search behaviour to changing user expectations and new design standards, our team thrives on learning and honing their skills and experience. We invest in regular training, attend industry events, and give our team space to explore new tech and fresh thinking.

This culture of continuous improvement means our clients benefit from cutting-edge solutions, and our team continues to grow in confidence, skill, and ambition.

While we love what we do, we also know that great work relies on happy, focused people. From team lunches and office treats, to away days and hands-on seasonal fun (wreath-making, anyone?), we make time for human connection away from the computer screens.

These moments matter. They strengthen inter-team relationships, spark new ideas, and remind us that we’re people first – which is exactly why so many of our team choose to build their careers here long-term.

We’re a close-knit team of talented specialists, each bringing our own skills, ideas, and personalities to the mix - along with strong opinions on the best way to brew a cuppa. Hand-picked for our expertise, curiosity, and energy, we work together in an environment where creativity and collaboration thrive. Individually, we’re designers, developers, strategists, marketers, and more. Together, we’re Hydra Creative - united by a shared passion for doing brilliant work that drives real results for our clients.

At Hydra, we believe in using our skills and platform to make a positive difference - not just for our clients, but for our wider community, too. Corporate Social Responsibility is more than a line item for us - it’s part of who we are.

Each year, we support a Charity of the Year – getting hands-on with fundraising, volunteering, and donating our time and expertise where it’s most needed. Over the years, we've proudly worked with a range of incredible causes, including Grimm & Co, Snowdrop Project, St Luke’s Hospice, Sheffield Theatres Trust, Paces, Dementia UK, and Andy’s Man Club. Whether it’s donating our expertise, raising awareness, or raising money, we do what we can to help them continue their vital work.

We’re also big believers in backing local talent. Our community partnerships extend to the world of sport, where we’ve supported homegrown stars and teams like the Sheffield Steelers, Sheffield Hatters, Rowan Campbell-Pilling (Formula 4 racing driver), and Mason Dickinson (professional welterweight boxer). These relationships reflect our values of ambition, dedication, and pride in Sheffield.

Being part of our community means showing up, making connections, and helping where we can - and that’s exactly what we’ll keep doing.

At Hydra, we don’t just deliver projects - we build partnerships. Our team is made up of experts who care deeply about what they do and the difference it makes to your business. Whether we’re shaping a strategy, designing a brand, or launching a digital platform, we approach every challenge with curiosity, creativity, and commitment.

We’re proud to be the kind of agency our clients return to - not just for the results we deliver, but for the way we work. Open, collaborative, and driven by a genuine passion for making great things happen.

Let’s create something brilliant together.
