Hotfoot x Northern Design Festival: Championing Northern Creativity

Posted on by

We’re happy to share that Hotfoot has been featured by Northern Design Festival in their latest blog.

In the article, our creative director Charlie Haywood chats to Millie Cain about what it means to be a Northern design studio — and how growing up and building a business here in Lancashire has influenced our work.

Charlie said it best:

“There’s incredible inspiration, talent, and community here — you don’t have to move to a big city to make your mark.”

At Hotfoot, we’ve always been proud of our roots. Whether we’re working with local businesses, national brands, or global campaigns, we love weaving that Northern spirit into what we do. As Charlie shared, the warmth, humour, and rich heritage of the North open up creative avenues that feel more real, more relatable, and packed with character.

We’re also proud to support the Northern Design Festival — an initiative that’s all about celebrating creativity across the region — and we were thrilled to design and build their website.

A huge thanks to the Northern Design Festival team for featuring us — and for all the amazing work they’re doing to shine a light on talent outside the usual big city hotspots.
