About me

Over the past two decades I've heard people ask me the same question, 'I know we need to change, I know you can make it attractive — but how can we make it stick

This conundrum is one of the biggest strategic challenges facing modern brands and has become my specialist subject.

Simon Manchipp is a founding partner of SomeOne. Successfully operating at the front line of commercial creativity globally for 20 years, the company is rated as the Design Agency in the UK.

Simon specialises in launching, relaunching and managing the brands of products, organisations and services at all sizes.

Prior to launching SomeOne, Simon founded and ran the design practice called 'NoOne'. The agency successfully ran for six years and was incubated by the 'agency of the decade' HHCL & Partners — part of the WPP network.

While running the creative practices Simon has retained a hands on approach where appropriate.

Happy to do the pitches & new business, the running of projects, working with clients and wider stakeholders.

Experienced in the research & writing of strategic positions to getting into copywriting.

And of course, not forgetting the delicate moments when the creation, design, art direction and deployment of assets comes into play.

A Global speaker on Business, Branding & Design. China / USA / Europe / India / Japan.
Simon's work is highly decorated, with over 120 industry accolades. Including D&AD, CreativePool, Transform, BrandPerfect, The Drum, Design Week, BestBrandAwards2024, Transform Asia, Kyoto Global Design Awards, Tech Behemoth, AWM, Third Sector, UK Gov, Creative Review.
