About Us
Based in Bury, Greater Manchester, Clear Creative produce professional web design, print, advertising, E-commerce and marketing services. We have been providing effective marketing solutions for over 25 years.
Our Philosophy
You'll find us straight talking, clear thinking people who believe in simple, imaginative concepts that create maximum impact. We believe in long term relationships with our customers, not short term flings for quick financial gain. Our customers are testimony to our work, that is why 90% of our client base is from referral.
Staff
The staff at Clear Creative have extensive experience in all aspects of creative design from visualising concepts to producing jquery scripts for high end website applications. Our technical knowledge is pretty good too!
There isn’t much we don’t know about printing technologies such as managing colour workflows to obtain colour consistency with your brand. It doesn’t stop there on the technical side as we employ high end software engineers for web development in programming technologies such as PHP, ASP, JAVA and XHTML to name but a few.
Quite simply Clear Creative houses a powerful team of creative and technical wizards!

- 2004
- Clear Creative set up by Ian Clark (ex BDH) and Steve Shaw (ex McCann Erikson). The name conceived from Clear as ‘clear in thought’ and Creative as ‘creative’.
- 2005
- One Apple Computer, one office, two staff and three clients! Our own website contrived in Adobe Flash.
- 2006
- Three Apple computers, three staff and ten clients. We move into our own premises ‘The Lodge’ – a character style building that used to be the Porters Lodge House at Bury General Hospital – ironic that we do healthcare work!
-
- 2007
- Eight Apple computers, four staff and sixteen clients. We have settled in at The Lodge and are producing as much web development work as print for design.
- 2008
- Eight Apple Macs, one PC, two Xserves, one RAID system and five full-time staff. Unfortunately, Steve Shaw, one of the co-founders of Clear Creative, is bought out and leaves for pastures new.

- 2011
- A tough year for most. Luckily we are still here! We put that down to delivering for our clients who know a good design agency once they have one!
