About us
A design and marketing partnership founded by Dani Martin and Joanne Davies, based in Yorkshire and working with businesses across Sheffield and the wider region.
The partnership
We started as a small, hands-on studio, and we've deliberately stayed that way. The only thing that's ever changed is the depth and scope of what we can now offer. Dani has since taken on board-level digital operations leadership for a multi-location UK tattoo studio chain, working across technical SEO, analytics, CRM and marketing automation at a scale most small agencies never get asked to operate at. That experience now shapes how we work with every client, bringing the technical rigour of an in-house digital operations lead together with the flexibility of a small independent studio.
Jo brings a wealth of creative experience, shaped by a background in the arts and entertainment industry. Supporting the creative and brand-facing side of our work, Jo takes the lead on content and copywriting, making sure everything we build looks and feels right for the businesses we work with, as well as functions properly.
We work with businesses at every stage, from first-time websites to complex, multi-location digital operations, across tattoo studios, beauty and aesthetics clinics, and independent businesses throughout Sheffield and Yorkshire. Getting the details right matters more to us than simply getting a client online. For a small number of businesses at the right stage, that relationship takes the shape of a fractional digital operations role rather than a project with a delivery date.
Technical & Operations Lead
Dani Martin leads the technical and digital operations side of Millside Creative. His background spans web design and SEO through to board-level digital operations leadership, including running technical SEO, analytics, CRM and marketing automation for a 12-location UK tattoo studio chain. He's just as comfortable writing code as he is reading analytics data or talking through strategy.
Creative & Brand Lead
Joanne Davies leads creative and brand direction at Millside Creative, drawing on a background in the arts and entertainment. She works closely with clients to make sure their brand identity and content genuinely reflect who they are, rather than simply chasing trends.
