Award winning independent creative agency and video games marketing specialist, Diva, has opened a brand new studio space in central Bristol after outgrowing their Queen Square HQ. The 4,000 square foot of gorgeous loft-style workspace on Redcliffe Street will provide additional capacity for the fast growing creative and client services teams.
