One SC Media celebrates Monocle move as it helps bring landmark development to life
Subhash Chatterjee, founder and Managing Director of One SC Media
THE move was celebrated at a special launch event attended by clients, partners, civic and business leaders.
Founded in 2020 by entrepreneur Subhash Chatterjee, One SC Media has grown from a kitchen-table start-up to a 40-strong team with offices in Hull, Manchester and London, delivering industry-leading digital marketing, video, photography and bespoke software solutions.
The move into Monocle provides the company with a striking, customer-facing base in the heart of Hull, complete with state-of-the-art facilities and space for expanding its team, which has already doubled in the past year.
One SC Media has not only become one of Monocle’s flagship tenants but also played a central role in delivering the development’s digital and creative infrastructure.
Working alongside developer Allenby Commercial, the agency has delivered:
- IT procurement and set-up for meeting rooms and communal spaces
- Audio and smart technology installation throughout the building
- Full fit-out of Monocle’s dedicated podcast studio
- A bespoke booking system for meeting rooms and the podcast studio
- A new Monocle website
- Exterior graphics and signage for the building
- Design and print of promotional flyers and menus for the building and its coffee house, Daze.
Subhash – who is just 21-years-old – said: “Monocle is a stunning space and a perfect home for One SC Media as we continue to grow.
“It’s modern, open and right at the heart of Hull with great transport links.
“What makes this move particularly special is that we haven’t just moved in – we’ve helped bring the development to life.
“From the graphics on the outside to the smart tech on the inside, our team has been part of making Monocle what it is today.
“Normally, we don’t get to see the full end result of our work, but here we’re living and working in it every day. That’s really exciting.”
The launch event at Monocle gave One SC Media the opportunity to thank its clients, partners and supporters while showcasing the breadth of its work.
Guests from across the public and private sectors were able to tour the space and learn more about the agency’s journey – from Subhash’s lockdown start-up to an award-winning company serving clients nationwide.
Subhash added: “Hull is our creative hub, and this move cements our commitment to the city.
“From here, we’ll continue to grow across Yorkshire and beyond, expanding our services and developing our own software products. But it’s just as important to us to create opportunities for people here in Hull.
“Monocle gives us the perfect base to do both.”
Georgia Allenby, Design and Marketing Director at Allenby Commercial, said: “Monocle is about creating a destination where modern businesses can thrive – not just with great facilities but with a sense of community and creativity. One SC Media embodies that spirit perfectly.
“They’ve been instrumental in helping us shape Monocle, and now they are helping to define it as one of its key tenants.”
Councillor Mike Ross, leader of Hull City Council, was one of the VIP guests at One SC Media’s launch event.
He said: “I’ve really enjoyed watching the development of Monocle take place. I’ve had real admiration for the work that Allenby Commercial has done – and even more so now that I’ve been inside and seen what a fantastic job it really is.
“Monocle is an amazing 21st century business environment, and I’m sure it will be an incredible space for people to work in.
“One SC Media is already a tremendous success story, especially for a really young team. It’s fantastic that they’ve been able to have that success here in Hull because this is a city where businesses work together and support each other.
“Their story is one that should be celebrated and used to encourage others to do likewise. I’m looking forward to seeing them continue to grow.”
Claire Crosbie, Senior Regional Fundraiser for Kids Yorkshire – a client of One SC Media – said: “I’ve never seen or experienced an office space like Monocle before – it’s welcoming, there’s a warmth to it and it’s one of a kind. It isn’t just an office space, it’s a community.
“The work that One SC Media are doing is absolutely revolutionary, especially for such a young company. They’ve got so much energy and passion, and it’s wonderful that Hull has young companies like this that are really promoting the city.”
Monocle continues to attract forward-looking businesses, with phase two of the development now underway and space available for more than 700 jobs once fully complete.
