The Boho Zone’ s flagship building Boho One is helping two businesses thrive after expanding to larger office space.
Mark Bland says Boho Five provided the perfect stepping stone to moving into Boho One.
Get Noticed Branding and Mustachio Design have both signed a two-year lease to take up new office space at Middlesbrough’ s Boho One after a strong period of growth.
The two firms, both formed in 2014, have ambitious plans to grow after collaborating on a number of projects.
The move is further testament of how collaboration continues to help many businesses based at Boho One and the new Boho Five building just a short walk away.

Matthew, who studied a Masters in product and innovation at Teesside University, says:“ Being part of the creative and digital hub in the Boho Zone is really important to us.
“ We’ re now looking to grow a team, with at least four operating from our studio. We’ ve built a strong brand with Ojee Golf and we’ re excited about other ventures we have in the pipeline.”
Mark, 36, from Guisborough, who has a BA Hons degree in graphic design from Teesside University, also formed Get Noticed Branding three years ago.
Previously based in Stokesley, he spent 10 months in Boho Five before moving to Boho One.
“ Initially moving to Boho Five was a big step for me but it proved to be the right decision as it accelerated the growth of the business and realised my ambition to be in Boho One faster,” he reflects.“ Boho Five was a perfect stepping stone as it allowed me the opportunity to take state-ofthe art office space that suited my needs at the time, without overstretching myself.
“ There’ s a great atmosphere here and some top companies to be around. We’ ve already collaborated with a number of firms here including The Creative Alchemist.
“ I’ m a firm believer in steady and reliable growth. We both want to grow organically- and Boho Five and Boho One have enabled us to do just that.”
Aimed at new and growing businesses, the state-of-the-art Boho Five building is the latest edition to the town’ s thriving digital and creative sector.
