Zone is a full service digital agency with offices in London, Bristol and Berlin. Zone is independently owned, with around 150 full-time employees.
History
Zone began life in 1992 as a commercial publishing business, producing the official Manchester United magazine, Inside United: the largest-selling sports monthly in the UK.
In the six years that followed, Zone gradually shifted from a purely publishing-led model to a combination of marketing and editorial services, culminating in the 1999 acquisition of tech consultancy Quantum.
Over the following 13 years, Zone experienced steady growth. This culminated in 2012, when the company integrated its sister agency and non-profit specialist, Public Zone, creating a team of 150.
In 2013, Zone acquired Bristol-based technical consultancy AurosCite error: The <ref>
