Planning a Marketing Agency Move

A creative agency is part office, part production shop. Account teams have desks like anyone else, but the studio has seamless paper rolls, light stands, strobes, and a tabletop set; the edit suites have calibrated displays; the print room has a wide-format printer and a mounting table; and a closet somewhere is full of product samples that belong to clients, not the agency. Every one of those moves differently.

We start by separating agency property from client property. Client samples, unreleased packaging, and campaign boards get their own labels, and your producers decide which ones go back to the client instead of to the new office. Cameras, lenses, and drives are packed by your photographers and editors in their own cases, and we carry the cases. Light stands, backdrop rigs, and studio furniture we pad and move. The date comes from the launch calendar: a shoot or delivery the following week means the studio moves last and sets up first. The rest of the floor is on our office moving page.

Who usually signs off
Agency operations director or office manager, with creative and production leads approving what can leave each work area
Timing that works
A weekend between campaign launches and pitch dates, on request, with the photo studio and edit suites packed last if a shoot or delivery is due that week.

What typically moves

  • Photo studio stands, backdrop rigs, and seamless paper rolls Stands collapsed and bagged by set; paper rolls ride upright in their cores so the edges do not crush.
  • Camera, lens, and lighting cases Packed by your photographers in their own hard cases; we load and unload them, and they check the contents.
  • Edit suite desks and calibrated displays Displays wrapped and moved screen-in; your editors or IT contact recalibrate them after setup.
  • Wide-format printer and mounting table Moved upright after the service vendor or your production lead parks heads and removes rolls.
  • Client product samples and campaign boards Labeled by client and kept apart from agency inventory, with anything going back to the client set aside.
  • Pitch room and creative lounge furniture Set early if a new-business pitch is booked at the new office in the first week.

Access and scheduling

Agencies in Boston tend to be in Fort Point and Seaport loft buildings, the South End, Back Bay, and Kendall Square, and many of those buildings are old brick warehouses with small freight elevators and a loading door on a narrow street. Backdrop rolls and printer boxes are long, so we measure the elevator cab before the date. If the truck must park on the street, apply early for the City of Boston's street-occupancy permit, which is not instant.

Suburban agencies in Needham, Natick, and Framingham are usually in office parks or village-center buildings with easier loading. Either way, we plan a Friday evening teardown of the studio and a Saturday move, on request, and send the building our certificate of insurance when it asks.

Protection and handling

Seamless paper rolls dent at the ends, calibrated displays scratch, and campaign boards bend at the corners. Rolls ride upright in their cores, displays go in padded cartons or monitor bags screen-in, and boards travel flat between sheets of cardboard in the order your producers want them.

The crew does not open camera cases or client sample boxes. Your staff pack them, seal them, and mark them. At the new studio, stands and backdrop rigs are rebuilt where the studio manager wants them, and cases are set on tables rather than the floor so your team can check equipment right away. Sample shelving goes back up before sample boxes are opened, which keeps client property off the floor in the busiest hours of the unload. Edit-suite towers are reconnected at their desks; editing software, storage, and licences are your IT provider's work.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Wide-format printer preparation and testing
The printer's service vendor or your production lead parks the heads, pulls the media rolls, and runs test prints once it is in the new print room.
Display calibration, editing software, and shared storage
Your editors and IT provider recalibrate displays and bring storage and licences back up.
Client samples going back to clients
Your producers decide and arrange delivery; we can set them aside or deliver them as a separate job.

Not part of our work

  • Packing cameras, lenses, drives, or anything inside a photographer's or editor's case.
  • Hanging studio lighting or rigging from the ceiling grid.

Around Boston and MetroWest

Boston's creative agencies cluster in Fort Point's brick warehouse buildings, the Seaport, the South End, Back Bay, and Kendall and Central Squares in Cambridge. Many studios sit on upper floors of older loft buildings with small freight cars and street loading. Suburban agencies are common in Needham, Natick, and Framingham, and a growing number share floors in coworking buildings.

Marketing Agency Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (774) 421-9389.

How do seamless paper rolls and backdrop stands travel without damage?

Rolls ride upright in their cores, strapped to the truck wall, so the ends do not crush. Stands are collapsed, bagged by set with their clamps, and the backdrop rig comes down in the order your studio manager wants it rebuilt. If a roll is already creased, tell us, and we can bag it for disposal instead.

What should we do with client product samples before the agency moves?

Sort them first. Your producers mark which samples go back to each client, which are needed for upcoming shoots, and which can be discarded. Samples for the new office are labeled by client and kept apart from agency inventory. We can deliver the ones going back to clients as a separate stop.

Can the photo studio keep shooting until the day before the move?

Yes. Pack the office and edit suites first, keep the studio running, and take it down Friday evening. The crew moves the studio first thing Saturday and sets it up before anything else at the new space, so a Monday shoot can go ahead.

Who recalibrates the edit suite displays after the move?

Your editors or IT provider, with their own calibration tools. We move the displays screen-in, in padded cartons or bags, and set them on their desks. A calibrated display usually needs a check after any move, so schedule an hour for that before the first edit session.
