OUR STAFF

What I do:

I work wherever I'm needed! I could be doing anything from promotion scheduling to Facebook updates, trouble shooting for clients or looking after an on-going campaign-it really depends what day of the week it is!

Elevator Music Track:

Argh, the pressure to come up with a cool track! Kele- Tenderoni

Would share an Elevator with:

Food & Drink - There's nothing quite like a pizza and a bottle of beer on a Friday night

Down With:

Poor grammar, drinks with bits in them and early mornings!

Favourite Promotion:

I haven’t been here long so I’ll have to go with the first project that was all mine to look after- Stena Line eXtra membership onboard recruitment campaign.

What I do:

I'm Senior Designer so I'm responsible for designing and artworking everything to do with a particular campaign. This might include pack artwork, point of sale material, press and outdoor ads as well as promotional merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, socks and boxer shorts!

Down With:

Smokers / People with delusions of grandeur.

Favourite Promotion:

Coca Cola - "Buy a Player".

What I do:

Changes daily but a little bit of everything - planning, meeting clients/suppliers, thinking up marketing ideas, copy-writing, briefing designers, the odd sneaky look at the latest football news....helping & advising clients where I can, so that Elevator has a positive effect on the performance their brand(s).

Elevator Music Track:

Hard to choose 1, but for pure 80s cheese I'll go with Nik Kershaw's The Riddle.

Would share an Elevator with:

Aside from my better half, family & mates - Eric Cantona, Norman Whiteside, Clint Eastwood, Jeff Stelling. (And I wouldn't close the door on Sarah Harding either!)

Favourite Promotion:

Pretty proud of our "Tayto Nation" promotion as it's something both client & consumers have really bought into. Further afield, I think the Coca-Cola 'Win a Player' was a great fully-integrated promotion, plus was a bit of fun to see how good or bad the winning club spent the money!

What I do:

I'm the boss so I get to do a bit of everything which is great - I can combine the creative process with practical and financial input . I really enjoy cracking a new brief and seeing great ideas start to emerge from our brainstorming sessions. I also give copy the once over from a legal point of view and check it for typos, grammar and spelling - I'm known to be a bit obsessive about the misuse of apostrophes!!

Elevator Music Track:

If the doors were closed and no-one was listening, I'd find it hard not to sing along to Aretha Franklin's I Say A Little Prayer!

Would share an Elevator with:

George Clooney - easy on the eye - Billy Connolly - to make me laugh - Stephen Fry for interesting conversation and perhaps Jools Holland to play a little piano in the corner!

Wouldn't share an Elevator with:

Anyone who has ever been in the Big Brother House. Or in the Jungle for that matter!

Up With

TV - The Wire, The Sopranos, The West Wing, ER - alas all over now!

Film - The Usual Suspects, The Graduate, The Talented Mr Ripley.

Food & Drink - A medium rare fillet steak or a plate of Italian antipasti - washed down with a robust red wine. And I hardly ever refuse a G&T!

Down With:

Pineapple on Pizza, Anchovies, and rude people!

Favourite Promotion:

Many years ago Ribena ran a fantastic promotion called Harry The Lime which was truly ground-breaking - definitely wish I'd done that one. But happy that I did work on Tennent's Football Fanatical, Tayto Nation and the Coors Light Road Trip.

What I do:

The best thing about my job is that no two days are ever the same. I can be doing anything from preparing proposals responding to client briefs, liaising with third party suppliers or making sure I am up to speed with the latest trends and techniques which could be used in promotional marketing campaigns

Elevator Music Track:

Mr Jones, Counting Crows never fails to bring a smile to my face, reminding me of some great après ski times!

Favourite Promotion:

Going back a few years, but I really enjoyed working on Tennent’s Football Fanatical. A recent one which I didn’t work on but caught my attention was Monster in your Mash by Mash Direct- a simple and fun concept that definitely made me buy some!
