Looking for graphic design in Manchester? UNKNWN is a graphic design agency based 1 hour 30 minutes via the M56, in Wrexham, working with SMBs and ambitious brands across Manchester and the wider region. We deliver graphic design that is commercially built, not just visually nice.
Manchester is one of the most competitive creative markets in the UK, where brand differentiation is the difference between getting noticed and getting buried. Whether you are an independent operator near Spinningfields or a growing firm working with clients across Liverpool, Chester, the graphic design you ship matters. It is what people see before they speak to you.
Every project starts from £150 and is scoped before any work begins. Fixed quote, no hidden invoices.
Manchester businesses face the toughest visual competition outside London. Hundreds of agencies, dense scale-up scene, sophisticated audience that has seen every visual trick in the playbook. The bar is high and rising. Brands that win here are the ones that look genuinely considered rather than chasing whatever style is trending on Behance this quarter.
In Manchester, graphic design earns its place when a brochure wins a contract, a sign pulls people off the street or a packaging label earns shelf space. Generic templates and stock identity disappear in a market of tech, media, retail, creative and professional services.
Manchester is the most saturated regional creative market outside London. Hundreds of agencies compete on price and visual stunts. The way to stand out is to be more commercial, more strategic and more specific than the noise. We work with Manchester businesses that take that seriously and want their graphic design to compete on something more than price.

We are local enough to be on a video call within minutes, drive across to Manchester for kickoff if it helps, and stay close enough to your business to actually understand it. We are not a London agency parachuting in. We are a Wrexham studio with proper roots in the region — including Liverpool, Chester and the wider North Wales and Cheshire markets.
Our work covers tech, media, retail, creative and professional services — every project considered against your specific market, not a generic playbook. Manchester-based clients get a senior designer or developer on every project, not an account manager handing it off to a junior.
