The
Team
SIMON KNIBBS
FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Audi, PWC, Shell and Toyota, Simon can name-drop with the best of them, but it is his ability to transfer this experience to SMEs and Start-ups that really ignites his creativity. Working with some of the same clients for over 22 years, he is involved with every project, from its inception when his strategic thinking, insight and imagination can launch a project on its best course, through to delivery and ongoing management. All this leaves little time for his other passions of cycling, skiing and fly fishing!
My favourite quote:
"Tigger’s can’t bounce down, tigger’s can only bounce up!"
Who would play you in the movie about your life?
Orlando Bloom (I think that's because I want to be a swashbuckling elf who always saves the day!)
CHRIS AVERY
SEO SPECIALIST & DIGITAL MARKETEER
Chris is a sorcerer of search and a magician of online marketing, well he's got a firm grasp on the dark arts of SEO and worships at the alter of Google. So if ranking for certain search terms is crucial to your business he needs to be involved from the start to align SEO strategy with online content and user experience. He's a keen golfer and very early riser.
My favourite quote:
“No one ever said on their death bed ‘I wish I’d spent more time at the office.' ” - Harold Kushner
Who would play you in the movie about your life?
I would like to say the Rock, but given the obvious physical differences I think it would make more sense for someone like Tom Hanks since he never seems to be in a bad movie!
laura slater
SENIOR DESIGNER & SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
Since getting her Graphic Communication and Typography degree, Laura has had 6 years of agency experience working with a huge variety of clients and industries, not forgetting her 2 years in pharmaceutical publishing, which means there's more than just creativity in her DNA. She loves helping clients grow their social media presence and thanks to her ongoing work with Beckett's Gin she now mixes a mean cocktail. When not married to her mac, she also designs wedding stationery and has had great success selling on her Etsy shop.
My favourite quote: "If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." Roald Dahl
Who would play you in the movie about your life? Lady Gaga (as in the A Star is Born Gaga!)
milo
Milo is the youngest member of the team and can nearly type his own name if he sits on the right side of the keyboard. (It could happen - its just a matter of time!) He's always guaranteed to raise a smile and demand a tickle when you're most short of time.
Post-it notes are his most favourite thing and is why they're our most ordered stationery item.
My favourite quotes:
"Time spent with cats is never wasted." Sigmund Freud
"Cats are connoisseurs of comfort." James Herriot
Who would play you in the movie about your life?
Ricky Purrvais, as when I'm in the office I make people laugh!
TIM GLYNNE-JONES
COPYWRITER & CONTENT CREATOR
Tim is a wordsmith of some repute, published author and lover of words of all lengths. When clients have all the knowledge, but none of the time to provide content for websites, brochures or other communication pieces, he can be the conduit that keeps the whole process moving and is key to meeting those tight deadlines. He's a musician, organiser, footballer and scooterer (not sure that's a real word...Tim?)
My favourite quote:
"They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now." - Bob Monkhouse
Who would play you in the movie about your life?
Bill Murray (although I do hate repeating myself!)
