What i do?

I have nearly 20 years experience in the industry and have worked and held senior positions within two of the biggest agencies in the UK.

My role within the team is varied. New business development, business strategy and getting the best from the team around me.

Coming from a creative director background I oversee the creative product within the agency as well as playing an active role in helping nurture the big idea.

Matching the client brief with a diverse and cost effective plan is what I do best and with an idea that will jump online and into traditional routes. I like the new challenges that this industry throws at us everyday. The technology, the ideas and the way we experience things change all the time and being aware of these makes the difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary campaign.

Indigo River has grown quickly since it started in 2009. And we believe our success has come from client to creative briefings, passion and honesty. Nothing is ever too much trouble for us, but if it is does the client really need to know. And a little bit of luck and whole bucket full of hard work have helped us along our way.

We now find ourselves in even more challenging times and the way we work with our clients will not change, in fact we will mould the agency to fit their unique challenges and not by a list of standard rules of practice. These are unique times and it calls for unique relationships built on transparency and trust.

I make it my personal goal to genuinely go the extra mile for our clients and make sure that the results promised are the results that are achieved.

What i do?

Being the lead developer within the team means it’s my job to make sure that all of our online projects for our clients are run seamless from brief to launch. The web can be very daunting and I work hard to make sure that the client knows what is going on at every stage. I use the team around me to bring to life great looking sites with a wide range of programming skills and always push the boundaries of what is capable within the web today.

We are constantly being challenged to create new sites that not only look amazing but are user friendly, interactive and built to act as a key part of our clients strategy. Some sites are online brochures and deliver key messages and product overviews. Others are integral to the day to day running and the front window to the business.

What i do?

My role at Indigo River is varied. I am involved in the creative thinking when a brief comes in and team up to plan initial ideas. I work closely with all the clients to ensure that the brief is heading in the right direction and I  believe communication is vital at every stage to ensure smooth delivery of all the briefs I work on. My concepts are taken applied across a wide variety of marketing tools such as websites, app GUI interface designs, brands, stationary suites, brochures, ad campaigns and much more.

I have a diverse collection of skills ranging from traditional graphic design through to digital media such as motion graphics and digital composition. I am also involved in the drafting and designing of 3D visuals using current industry methods and cutting edge techniques. I work in post production and animation as well as creating intro’s for videos, commercials and animated elements for online use. I love working on projects where people have no idea how those projects came together or actually made. If there’s a new technique or tool in the industry then I’m probably using it!

I Love my guitars!! I have a white gleaming Ibanez RG350 DX Electric guitar! I also have a Yamaha Acoustic F310, Im more of an acoustic guitarist though, but still can't resist a heavy metal guitar. Food - Good food, I love to wine and dine. Art galleries - I've ventured out to Paris and Rome my next trip… New York! Tattoos - I have a ginormous left arm sleeve and plan to have the other tattooed when I get round to it! My cats - they are my 'lil babies! Anything remotely connected to Apple, Adobe, Maxon. Vintage retro-ness - Super Mario Bro's, Sonic The Hedgehog, Pacman, Street Fighter, you cant beat the old classics! So..! “these are a few of my favourite things..!” :P

The Sun newspaper. Mint Chocolate. Crew Cuts. Burnt popcorn. Slow computers. Greasy pizzas. Banana flavoured cough syrup. :P

What i do?

I’m a bit of an all-rounder you could say. I have over 7 years industry experience spread over two design & marketing agenices, an in-house international design & marketing department, a printing & signage company, and also a photography studio.

Throughout all these I have been well placed to collect and absorb a vast amount of technical knowledge, tips & tricks across all print & web media. With this varied experience I get to dip my toes in many things. These include creative projects from client brief through to print, magazine and web advertising, exhibition and POS displays, vehicle graphics and packaging. I’m also on hand to provide art-working and print/application assistance to my fellow Indigo Crew. So if you’re project is to be printed, chances are I have worked on it, in some way, at some point.

I’m also the resident authority on whether someone’s cuppa qualifies as a ‘proppa Yorkshire tea’.

What i do?

As part of the web team it is my main role to support the various projects within the agency. Working alongside the designers to help bring their ideas to the screen without compromising the original look and feel. I love a challenge, researching new ways to do things and I won’t let things beat me. I build sites using many different coding languages and work closely with the clients on a daily basis. I believe there is a way to achieve what our clients require and that’s the task I face and relish everyday. I also like to add value by showing alternative routes that may not have already been thought about.

What i do?

I’ve recently graduated with a HND in graphics from Solihull College. I have always been artistic and wanted a career in graphic design. I’m a creative, I love new ideas and thinking up concepts and designs that work in harmony with the clients objectives. Each brief I work on gives me the opportunity to put creative in front of our clients that will give them stand out, create a point of difference across their market. I use the MAC to help me create the visuals but love sitting with my pen and pad and scribbling the raw idea. I like markers and using them to visualise my ideas.

What i do?

Thirty years in PR and I still haven’t seen an adequate definition of what it really is. I’m more interested in what it really does, and this is different for each and every client. PR doesn’t come packaged up as a ready-meal – an instant fix.  It’s more like a casserole, a steady cook with many different elements that all come together as part of the mix. It’s my job to get that mix right so it gets the results our clients need from their PR.
