    Colour & Thing - owner / Creative Director

    Over 8 years experience as founder/creative director/owner leading several teams to deliver the right thing rather than the easy fee earner. We launched and re-invigorated brands within the B2B and B2C sectors, delivering innovative creative communications to help them grow. Working in every market from food & drink (including organic), through NGOs, to automotive and education, there was no better path to becoming a seasoned expert.

    Creative brand lead for Ambitious PR

    I played a pivotal role in spearheading their re-branding efforts around three years ago. Last year, i further collaborated with them on a part-time basis, dedicating three days a week for six months, to help reshape their brand identity and strategy. Working seamlessly as an integral member of their extended team, we revitalised their brand by leveraging existing strengths as a foundation.

    Together, we crafted a comprehensive guide for both internal and external stake holders to adhere to, ensuring consistency and coherence in messaging. In addition to driving brand development, i also provided support for several of their clients, enhancing their communication and design capabilities.

    Freelnace creative Director

    In my capacity as a freelance consultant, i specialise in providing strategic creativity to assist companies in elevating their brand identities and communications. Over the past few years, i’ve operated independently, deeply engaging with my clients’ enterprises and tailoring bespoke solutions from robust strategic frameworks to innovative creative endeavours.

    During this time, i’ve notably contributed to the establishment of a ground-breaking
    electric vehicle brand for the RAC and spearheaded the brand evolution of numerous
    flourishing small and medium-sized enterprises.
