Who are Bliss?
Bliss is a digital agency that provides strategic creative and technical solutions for local, national and international organisations. We have an office in Manchester city centre, but are generally working at home due to Covid - we want the best of both worlds in the future.
We’re friendly, collaborative and fair, and require all team members to embody these core values.

We are an accredited employer of the Living Wage Foundation, and are working toward B Corp certification.
Quality is very important to us, and we are constantly striving to improve our skills, knowledge and working practices. Where we don’t think we’re able to be great, we’ll look to partners who are.
We are a self motivated group of web developers, passionate about technology. We pride ourselves in our ability to empathise with our clients on problems and thrive for creative solutions that create maximum value.
If this sounds like the sort of agency you’d like to work for, we’d love to hear from you!
