    Following a decision to bring creative support in house, I was brought on board to establish a creative offering that complimented our enviable reputation as a go-to consultancy in employee engagement, internal communications, behaviour change and learning. Clients range from large international corporations including GSK, Rolls-Royce, BP, BAT, Shire, Deloitte and Google to smaller companies such as Specsavers and JELF as well as public sector entities such as DfE and DWP. The work spans multi-channel, multi-phase (and occasionally multi-language) projects from materials supporting face-to-face workshops, conference collateral, e-learning solutions, animations, guidebooks and microsites through to small one-off pieces such as program identities and guidelines to ensure consistent internal application, training materials and single-issue communications campaigns.
