[ We are Modern English ]

We look after legends.

A digital agency for bands and brands. Campaigns, platforms, content and future-tech — built for audiences who already care, and the ones you want next.

[ Who we are ]

We create digital solutions for bands and brands — big, small and just about everything else in between.

We are a distributed team of producers, designers and developers with our bricks-and-mortar headquarters in Manchester, UK.

We devise intelligent, beautifully designed solutions that deliver on our clients' objectives — and genuinely resonate with their audiences.

All work

[ What we do ]

Creative that thinks. Tech that holds.

From first workshop to final launch — and the bit afterwards where it has to keep working under a tour announcement.

  1. 01

    Creative & Strategy

    Working out what the thing should be before anyone opens a code editor.

  2. 02

    Technical & Development

    The part that has to survive a tour announcement and a million people at once.

  3. 03

    Campaigns

    Moments built around a release, a tour or a drop — live when it needs to be.

  4. 04

    Web Assets

    The photography, film and animation that makes the rest of it look like something.
