So organised we’re practically sponsored by Onenote. Jacob writes copy like a mathematician solving an equation – he has yet to be called the Einstein of words. Eva’s on the art direction and will dream a campaign before we’re even briefed, she’s a Lithuanian pocket-rocket with more drive than a freight train. Together we imagine, strategise and create brilliant ads. 

It’s my secret to being the advertiser that I am. 

I’m also a dreamer. Always imagining the future. Obsessing over the latest technology, incorporating it in as much work as I can, laced with a hyperpop beat. Art direction is when I’m at my strongest, and I’ve been working out! (sorry) All of that, and a bit of photography, video editing, and 3D modelling doesn’t go amiss.  

We’re Leah and Beth, an outgoing dyslexic duo that likes to dig our teeth into solving a problem or two. We create many desks in various places. On a trampoline? On a rock walk? Adventurous that’s us.

You’ll most likely be able to spot us if you hear Beth’s very Yorkshire nooooo or Leah’s ohmygod. When we’re not eating crisps we’re brewing some great advert.

First up we have the scouser, Lidya, the chief picture drawer, with the sketching skills to rival any pre-schooler. Her ability to turn a quite honestly vague idea into a real ad is genuinely pretty impressive. Second up we’ve got Patrick, wordsmith, man of many letters, guy who likes to write self-congratulatory bits of text about himself, Patrick puts the “fun” in “functional line of copy”.

Together we’re a team that share a total of five passports (Lidya has 4), a big bill of Tesco meal meals (it really f****** adds up), strange and often odd ideas (calling us weird is a compliment), always unafraid of failure (maybe sometimes).

After all we’d rather be strange failures than boring winners.

If you can’t see me at first, try looking below your eye-line for the mop of brown curls. I’m Eden, a solo creative who’s recently discovered she’s from the West Country (only taken 22 years!) My time in the studio is mainly spent doing scamps while listening to oonts oonts music at full volume in my headphones, but you can also find me scaring myself with true crime documentaries on the reg. 

If you happen to enjoy my work or know any copywriters that you think would be a perfect match for me, please feel free to contact me using the email below.

Hi there, I am  Ally…or Alex…or Alexandra..or Allison (It really depends on who you talk to).

When I’m not listening to David Bowie or putting crisps in my sandwiches, I am coming up with quirky, new ideas that make people huff through their nostrils and say “That’s cool”.

I am also the proud owner of ‘the desk’. That one desk that people hover and crowd over when they need idea support or to just make pointless conversation and procrastinate.

I also make a weird face the moment I come up with an amazing idea.

So why not hire me to find out what it is…

When I’m not drawing on my iPad or listening to a vast variety of music with my headphones on, I’m trying to be creative in other ways and develop ideas for an interesting and eye-catching campaign!

I’m a passionate film lover, as it was the leading subject in my dissertation, and I find influence from all planes of media.If it has a human truth and is naturally developed for an audience, I love it!

I’d ideally be looking for a copy writer in the future, even though I’m working on my writing skills, as I’m more polished in the art direction field!

Pause. Can you hear that? The obnoxiously contagious laughter coming from the corner? That’s where Katherine and Lily are hiding. Its echo will lead you to whichever spot they’ve chosen for the working day, because we can promise it won’t be their desk.

If you follow the laughter rainbow, at the end you’ll find Katherine and Lily filling their own pot of gold with tonnes of creative ideas. Their best has come from the silly conversations that only these two friends could have. Questioning everything, maybe a little too much, as they go.

See that person up there. That’s me. Sixty thousand grams of creative walk and talk. I’m unconsciously quirky and find ideas in the strangest of places. Out on a bike ride, walking the hills or holding court with the local street cats, there isn’t no place an idea can hide from me. 

Should you catch me staring blankly into the sky, don’t be concerned. I’m just doing some blue-sky thinking.
