Meet the Manchester based Winning Team Behind Your Success
Meet the team dedicated to your digital growth. Led by MBA and Doctoral level experts, we combine academic rigour with practical marketing strategy to help small businesses win.
Our Story: Big Agency Strategy for Growing Businesses
Brandwin was founded on a simple belief: small businesses and startups deserve the same level of strategic thinking as major corporations. We saw too many businesses being sold “cookie-cutter” websites and vague marketing packages that didn’t move the needle.
We wanted to change the game. By combining high-level business strategy with technical digital excellence, we created a winning formula designed specifically for the challengers, the disruptors, and the growing businesses of Manchester. We don’t just want to be your service provider; we want to be the partners who help you position your business in a league of its own.
We’re qualified, super qualified. You wouldn’t let an unqualified mechanic fix your car so why let an unqualified agency handle your business growth?
A Culture of Constant Learning (CPD)
Digital marketing changes fast. What worked six months ago might be obsolete today. That is why we are obsessed with Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
We don’t just “keep up” with industry trends; we master them. Our team is constantly upskilling through formal education, industry accreditations, and degree-level training. When you work with Brandwin, you aren’t just hiring a web designer; you are hiring a team of lifelong learners who ensure your business is always ahead of the curve.

Krish
Krishna is our technical “secret weapon.” Holding a Master of Computer Applications (MCA), he is the expert we call on when “out of the box” simply isn’t enough.

With nearly a decade on the Brandwin team, Krishna specialises in high-level PHP frameworks (Laravel, CodeIgniter) and custom coding. He has written over 200 entirely custom WordPress plugins from scratch to date, solving complex problems that standard software couldn’t. Whether it is a fully customised interactive interface or complex server-side functionality, Krishna ensures that our technical limitations never hold back your business ambition. His motto defines our development philosophy: “If we can think it, he can write it.”
