WE ARE DISTURB
We disturb media. In a good way.
Our aim is to create digital niceties that are a little different to the norm, create an impact and give consumers a bit of a nudge.
disturb's now a few years old and has decades of collective experience and know-how in pretty much all things digital, especially when it comes to sales promotion and engaging users across all digital platforms.
We're situated in Clerkenwell, London - A few minutes' walk from Farringdon station. A lovely part of town with quite a lot going on. Most of it bad for us.
