MARK BOSTONSENIOR DESIGNER
I design mainly for the web. So a normal day for me consists of creating logos, selecting fonts, choosing colour palettes, producing icons and visualising layouts to encompass the whole user experience of a brand. Let’s not forget print. I still design for print. Things like stationery, leaflets, posters, brochures and magazines. I love what I do.

My main tools of the trade are Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. When the mood takes me I still like to grab a pencil and pad, or even open up Sublime Text and dabble in a bit of HTML and CSS.

Aside from design my life consists of cycling, swimming at the lido, renovating our home, and trips away in our campervan called Sprout. Other interests that I love, but currently rarely find the time for, are travelling, surfing, snowboarding and golf. A couple of extra facts for you about me – I’m quite tall and I can solve the rubix cube. I also like to take the odd photo or two.

MEGAN THOMPSONHEAD OF MARKETING
I work with our clients to develop and create their brand strategies to understand the mission, vision and values of a brand. I manage our brands to develop their online presence through digital marketing strategies using creative campaigns.

Creative marketing strategies and brand management is at the heart of what I do, constantly looking for new ways to share content, develop the business and explore how we can add value and build your brand.

I am always ready for a chat about what’s trending, Netflix’s most binge-worthy watches and the best places to go for dinner. I manage all things content and makes sure we’re bringing you the very best creative content on the website and social media every day to bring a brand to life!

My creative nature is a perk of my bubbly personality, having interests in not only digital marketing but fashion, interiors and events. I like to think of every little detail.

EVIE BRADSHAWSOCIAL MEDIA & MARKETING
Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & TikTok mogul, with a wealth of knowledge in social media marketing, sales, events, event marketing & hospitality.

I am a passionate creative with a constant need to stay on top of current trends whilst consistently evolving with the ever-dynamic world that is, social media.

With an abstract way of thinking, I enjoy venturing “outside of the box” to problem solve and increase your social presence through a variety of tailored channels relevant to your brand. Keeping your clientele engaged with consistent content is key, but don’t be afraid to be unconventional and boho now and again…
