Strengths
Clique Studios is a Chicago digital agency (with a second office in Denver) whose center of gravity is design and engineering: web design, UX/UI, custom development, digital strategy, and platform builds, with WordPress and custom application work among its documented specialties. Where most firms on this index lead with marketing programs, Clique leads with the digital products those programs depend on — sites, platforms, and tools built for enterprise and institutional clients. Its publicly documented client roster is among the strongest in the city: McDonald's (including a multi-year global marketing platform program documented in public case reviews), Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Ventra, the Second City, Lincoln Park Zoo, and Argonne National Laboratory appear across its published work and directory profiles. The agency also offers digital strategy, SEO, and paid search in support of its build work.
Considerations
Strongest fit for enterprise, institutional, and mid-market organizations whose priority is a serious website, platform, or digital product — and who want design and engineering leading the engagement, with marketing in support.
