About me

Hi there,

My name is John and I have spent the past 15 months working for Metro as a Commercial / Marketing Designer. My responsibilities were varied in my time. In terms of marketing, I was responsible of creating marketing materials such as one pagers, infographics, stat sheets etc. for our clients as well as for in-house benefits. I also dealt with the house advertisements for Metro, the largest being Club Metro. Establishing creative it was my responsibility to create weekly advertisements which ran in paper for the social football blogging business model.

As for commercial work, I would liaise with the sales teams to create solutions to briefs put forward by clients including Tropicana, Coca Cola, Ford, Beats By Dre, ASDA, Tesco, Natwest and many more. This required me to have a keen eye of branding and be aware of what elements the client may have wished to push in their campaigns.
