Creative agency with London offices moves HQ to prominent Leeds Dock location

International creative agency Intermarketing (IMA) is moving its headquarters to Leeds Dock.

The company will be occupying 26,000 sq ft in Leeds’ Malthouse building.

The agency’s new office in Leeds Dock’s South Bank area is an 18th-century brewery building. Following a £2.5m revamp, the space can accommodate up to 350 people.

The new Leeds office is one of six for Intermarketing. The global agency also has spaces in London, Amsterdam, Sydney, New York and Manchester.

Leeds Dock is now a mixed-use development and home to many creative agencies, independent food and drink operators, as well as Sky’s digital headquarters and the Royal Armouries Museum.

Jamie Allan, Intermarketing’s chief executive partner, commented: “IMA are extremely excited to relocate our HQ from Headingley, which has been our home for over 30 years, into The Malthouse on Leeds Dock.

“After a major renovation and complete redesign, the office will create an environment that will enable our business to make a step change and adopt a new way of working. It’s important for us to constantly evolve, reevaluate and look to improve on every aspect of our business.

“Our office space and environment is a major part of who we are and how we work. This move will aid our desire for increasing collaboration, driving integration and using technology and space to improve productivity. It will create an improved flexibility to how we deliver creative ideas to our clients.

“Allied London has shared our vision and facilitated our move to the Leeds Dock. The whole area has been transformed over recent years and there is so much more on the horizon, we look forward to being part of our new community but we will definitely miss our old one!”
