The Glass Works: Redefining a town centre
Bringing Barnsley’s redevelopment to life through digital channels - repositioning a town centre, to find a place in the hearts of Barnsley.


Completed in 2021, The Glass Works is a £220m investment which is central to the redevelopment of Barnsley Town Centre. As part of the pre-launch activity, we defined the messaging strategy which laid the foundation for the digital communications, highlighting various opportunities and challenges that the area and the development may face.
Since the launch of The Glass Works, we’ve spearheaded their brand development and its translation across digital channels by planning a busy content schedule, designing and executing all aspects to strategically bring the redevelopment to life, meeting the demands of all stakeholders across Barnsley.
