My name is Daniel Duke. I’ve worked with clients like the BBC, BT, Cisco, EE, VSO, University of Liverpool, Fairmont hotels and Edinburgh International Science Festival, as well as agencies like Sideshow, Mocha and Anvil & Iris. I’m the Head of Marketing at Sketch where I focus on content strategy, marketing and a little bit of UX.
Projects
- SketchSketch is an incredibly powerful digital design toolkit, used by over one million designers every day and built by one of the most talented teams in tech. In late 2017 they asked me to join them to write marketing and UX copy for the website and app. My work covers everything from writing blog posts, website pages and newsletters, to looking at user experience, microcopy and the customer journey.
- Look Forward posterA self initiated brief, celebrating the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014. These were printed up and sent to clients as a New Year’s greeting. “Time to look back on what we’ve done but more importantly time to look forward to the exciting things 2014 has in store. Here’s to MMXIV!”
- Think SocialBill McCartney is a social media consultant based in Northern Ireland. He needed a new, exciting brand to relaunch his training and consultancy services. I created the ‘Think Social’ brand, a cohesive and engaging identity that sums up everything Bill is trying to achieve. We developed a custom WordPress site to compliment the brand and collateral and push newsletter signups.
- HotpotThe great people over at Hotpot ask me to put together a huge collection of characters, for their brand. We created a number of base character designs and then built each illustration up around them. They wanted to keep the characters as simple as possible but still have a sense of humour. There are over 50 illustrations in all. Take a look at some of the illustrations in action in the video.
- University of Liverpool explainerThe lovely folks over at Mocha asked me to put together some illustrations for some short animations promoting the University of Liverpool’s Marketing courses. “The University of Liverpool Online wanted some short films aimed at generating leads for their MSc in Marketing programme, which promoted the course content and benefits of studying online at the Liverpool Management School” We had to try and create an engaging style that got all of the information across, while maintaining the class and gravitas of a red brick University. Check out the videos below for the finished films and keep scrolling to see some of my illustrations.
