CREATIVE EXCHANGE Edinburgh

Really cool place for young businesses to base themselves. A very attractive building filled with forward-thinking people and businesses.

Best place for start up. Very nice people, and a great community.

An amazing creative space with lots of networking and collaboration going on. Many pop-up agencies evolve around client needs since there are businesses which specialise in a variety of expertise from website design, branding and publishing to graphic design and social media and digital marketing (me). Plus since we all come from the same cultural background (creative industries) we have a similar mindset and perspective. As a consequence, great banter, parties, leaving drinks and brainstorming takes place regularly.

I've used the Creative Exchange for two events now and been impressed both times. Mainly it's the building. Lots of money went into the renovation of the old Corn Exchange and in terms of decorations that was money well spent. If you need a building to impress then consider an event in here. Mind you, downstairs is an open gallery. The second order our events was in the drinks and networking phase when a small gaggle of folks came in to check out the pictures that decorated the venue. It's more than just the building though. The staff here are smart and helpful. That's useful because there's some impressive tech in here to manage things like wifi connection numbers - which makes sense given the building's main use these days is to rent office space to creative start up companies.

A great place for Creative Incubator businesses - The location (indicator on the wrong side of the road) is great with free on street parking. The building itself is very impressive and will impress any visitor. The meeting rooms are superb. The management team are very considerate and helpful. What it lacks in privacy it makes up for in the collaborative opportunities available from discussing projects with other businesses and individuals.
