A digital agency built like a software company — not a marketing firm with a dev team.
ClickTake has shipped 120+ production systems since 2019. We run four offices — Birmingham (UK HQ), Multan (engineering hub), Austin (US desk) and Dubai (MENA office) — so every engagement gets 18-hour workday coverage from a UK account lead and a Pakistan tech lead who hand off twice a day. If you're searching for a software company in Birmingham, an AI agency, or just a digital agency in the UK that actually ships, you're in the right place.
Engineering-first
Senior engineers (8+ yrs avg) own engagements end-to-end. No juniors learning on your budget.
Multi-region delivery
Four offices across UK, Pakistan, US and UAE give us 18-hour workday coverage on every engagement.
Embedded, not outsourced
We feel like an extension of your internal team — shared Slack, shared sprints, shared metrics.
From a Birmingham web shop to a four-continent engineering firm.
We started in 2019 as a two-person Birmingham studio. Six years later we're a 28-person team across four countries — same engineer-led culture, just more of it.
Founding and the Birmingham HQ
ClickTake is founded in Birmingham as a full-stack web shop serving UK SMEs. First 30 projects ship on Next.js + Postgres.
US entry and the AI pivot
Austin business desk opens. The team pivots into AI-native engineering — LangGraph agents, RAG pipelines, and the first multi-agent production deployments go live.
Dubai, the deep-dive rebuild, and today
Dubai MENA office opens. The platform is rebuilt around six practices sharing one delivery engine. 120+ production deployments shipped across four continents.
5 phases, 4 offices, one team.
A repeatable engagement model with fixed deliverables, fixed timelines, and a written exit criterion at every phase — so you always know what you're paying for and when you'll see it.
Discovery & Scope Lock
Roadmap mapping, ROI prioritization, fixed-price PoC scoping, and a written exit criterion per workstream.
Architecture & Design
Schema, API contracts, infra topology, observability stack — signed off before build begins.
Build Sprints
Two-week sprints, weekly demos, CI/CD from day one, design system in Storybook, E2E Playwright.
Launch & Handoff
Production launch with runbooks and on-call rotation. Then we hand over the keys — no lock-in.
Operate & Iterate
Optional hypercare + ongoing iteration. We measure against your analytics, not vanity metrics.
ClickTake vs. the alternatives.
We've sat on the other side of the table — here's an honest comparison against a UK boutique, an offshore firm, and an in-house hire, warts and all.
| Capability | ClickTake | UK Boutique | Offshore | In-house |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior engineers (8+ yrs) | varies | |||
| 18-hour workday coverage | ||||
| Fixed-price PoC in 6 weeks | sometimes | |||
| AI-native (agents, RAG, evals) | rare | |||
| Code + keys handed over | varies | |||
| UK Ltd Co + GDPR invoicing | n/a |
Four offices. 18-hour workdays.
Leadership in Birmingham, engineering in Multan, business desks in Austin and Dubai. You get one Slack channel, one Linear workspace, and a team that's online before your morning coffee and after your evening standup.
