About me

I have been employed by OCW Advertising and Marketing since August 2002. Initially employed as a creative artworker working across the companies portfolio of clients including blue chip clients such as HBOS plc and Carclo plc, the position meant artworking and designing a range of material including Corporate Identity, customer and employee facing corporate material, Report and Accounts, Exhibition Display material, Advertising and promotional material such as posters, leaflets and flyers.

Completing work for the company's client portfolio requires close adherence to corporate guidelines whilst maintaining a creative bent where necessary to create solutions to each and every brief. Due to the nature of the client base the deadlines are often very tight; in cases such as rate guides, customer notices and statement inserts for HBOS plc these deadlines are often same day scenarios with strict adherence to guidelines and templates, which it is my responsibility to create and maintain/update.

Over the course of my employment, my role has developed into that of Studio Manager. Responsible for workflow through the studio, ensuring delivery of projects to both time and budgetary constraints, the role requires me to work closely with the Creative Director, Account Handlers, Artworkers/Designers and Production Department to ensure the efficient production of work which meets the clients' requirements.

Day to day tasks include providing quotes on studio time, the prioritisation and
