Dedicated. Automotive. Digital
That's us in a nutshell. Here at Bluesky Interactive, we pride ourselves on being one of the UK's leading automotive digital marketing agencies - and we've worked in the motor trade exclusively since we were established in 2002. Growing from a small Warwick office to the large rural headquarters you see today has taken time, effort, and above all knowledge. Our growth and success relies on our understand of the automotive industry, and our extensive expertise in all things digital.
In 2008 we merged with MB Advertising, one of the largest marketing agencies in the North of England - and another automotive specialist. Together we form MBBluesky, employing over 140 people and developing intelligent, forward-thinking technology and solutions to ensure your business is in the best possible hands. This group is able to offer a fully integrated range of services - from web design through to campaign management, video production & more. Our industry experience speaks volumes - our technology and services support more than 1000 dealer locations.
