What we've been up to as a business.

We are
Health Champions

We are always focused on supporting the well-being of our people and have recently signed up for the Live Well, Work Well initiative from Northern Ireland Chest, Heart & Stroke. Our health champion, Claire Weston, took part in a two-day training course to understand the importance of nutrition, physical activity, sleep stress and mental health. Claire’s role is to encourage our people to adopt a healthy lifestyle inside and outside of work, through a series of initiatives, events and campaigns.

As part of her role, Claire has organised employee Health checks and wellness talks delivered by NICHS on stress, sleep and nutrition. More initiatives will be rolled out throughout the year including office pilates and walking challenges. As an extension of the health champion role, we also have 2 qualified mental health first aiders, Clare Geehan and Anthony McCann.

Giving back to the design community

Our brand directors, Chris Killeen and Steve Neill, took a trip down memory lane as they were invited to Ulster University to give a talk to final-year graphic design students. Before the students embark on their professional journey, Chris and Steve discussed their careers to date, the influential people they met along the way, big agencies vs small, the creative process, and so much more.

They had a great time and wish all the students the best of luck as they go into the working world.

Design Thinking

As part of our commitment to continuous learning and innovation, our senior team were treated to a highly engaging and informative course in Design Thinking, facilitated by Gareth Dunlop.

Learning the value of Design Thinking as an innovation framework and the various tools that are part of the methodology, we’re keen to use it to create more people-led solutions right across our range of services – from brand strategy and design to campaigns and content.
