Cheryl has a wealth of experience much of it gained within the cosmetics industry. She’s both stylish and fun and when out of the office likes nothing better than to down pints of full fat coke at her local hostelry.
Louise Brown
Account Manager

(01933) 462120
Louise handles some of our biggest and profitable accounts. With these skills it was no surprise that she recently gave birth in 4 hours - apparently it was all in days work though rumours are going around that she was assisted by illusionist David Copperfield, with whom she had once assisted on stage in Las Vegas. To keep her and the baby company in the evenings she has her not so small puppy ‘Lola’, a bar of chocolate and of course Marc himself.
Gabriella Kalarus
Account Manager

Ski crazy Gabriella brings Eastern European glamour to Blotts Barn with a taste for the high life and Thai food. Her ideal weekend would be spent by day on 5th Avenue slipping on the latest design by Jimmy Choo and by night being wined and dined, either by a senior Russian statesman or Olympian champion.
Simon Khan
Senior Account Manager

(01933) 462185
Simon graduated from his unassailable position as TGI’s Flair Bartender Champion to spending several years client-side. He then jumped ship to agency side where he has spent the last 12 years building an excellent service reputation. At home Simon is coaching his local under 7’s football where he hopes his star striker (his eldest boy) will be the next Beckham. Simon’s only weakness is that he supports Liverpool FC. Well I guess someone has too!

Coming to work for Michael is pure play. He’s been building websites since attending primary school (which actually isn’t that long ago). He loves both playing games and developing them and is also a big fan of Sci-fi - so a true codey. One thing that is not alien to him is whiskey. This he particularly enjoys whilst head banging to Rammstein. This boy rocks.
Grant Wilmot
Senior Creative Artworker
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462183
Retoucher, animator and 3D genius - if it can be imagined, Grant can make it happen. He can often be heard whispering “my precious”. This is a side effect of having viewed The Lord of The Rings once too often under the influence of a Mojito or two! Grant is also a seasoned traveller and our resident Forest Gump, spending his weekends running - everywhere!
Marc Brown
Sales Director

(01933) 462122
When Marc is not making sales and managing his team he can be found on a different kind of pitch giving advice (shouting) at his Olney players. In his former years he once cut his mustard in a match against Norwich City. His misspent youth saw him DJing at The Sanctuary Club, and tending a bar in Tenerife. Marc also has the accolade of being a WH Smith cardboard cutout and the UK’s best smile in 2005. He also has creative flair, and whilst designing the Titanic film poster he had to avoid an iceberg, thankfully the disaster movie was a success. Since these times he has moved to calmer waters and is steering his ship to great success.
Billie-Jade Whitmore
Account Manager

(01933) 462189
Billie’s experience lies in building great client relations, these construction skills have been honed at home where she spends her weekends renovating her house. She has won a nation direct marketing for Lexus which she celebrated by getting bitten by a monkey in Thailand. If she ever offers to cook you a Thai curry (she’s a bit of a Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen) you might be best not to ask what the meat is.
Steve Stairs
Artworker
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462128
Steve is a self taught artwork whiz. So quick does he work we have had to commission a special edition racing Mac to cope. All this need for speed is a natural thing for him as in the weekends he swaps his denims for leather before tearing up the high street like Barry Sheene doing his best to look very mean on his two wheeled Japanese machine.
Stephen Sellick
Creative Director
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462187
Creativity is not the only thing Stephen is passionate about - he’s a cycle fanatic, has raced mountain and road bikes and ridden stages of the Tour de France. Last year he even managed not to fall off! He also loves adrenaline and has plunged nine metres into mountain pools, he skis and has taken his KTM motorbike through Welsh bogs. When not trying to kill himself he spends his time with his family often hatching his next escapade.
Julia Thomas
Account Manager

(01933) 462127
Our Julia is our pearly queen. Heralding from the East End she reportedly started off life as a barrow girl, however this all ended when a bloke who was going to make his fortune selling computers fired her. She then set off to be a graphic designer but soon decided her pearls of wisdom lay in account management, now with 20 years experience she is one of our most senior and skilled personnel.
Jeremy Bantin
Studio Manager

(01933) 462125
Some say he’s been here longer than it takes to get Chilean miners out of a hole. Jeremy’s long standing experience enables him manage the hectic studio with aplomb. He’s a charitable chap too, and helps leading youthwork at his local church, this can lead him to seeing red in the evenings (that’s when he’s watching his favourite team Liverpool trying not to get relegated).
Greg Moksa
Designer
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462184
Greg heads up the younger side of the creative department (coming to think of it - it’s just him). He likes all the typical things a man of his age should enjoy - wacking little white balls with sticks, caressing bodies designed by Pinnafarina and discussing the virtues of Stella versus Carling whilst watching the latest Premiership game on the big screen.
Tim Eggelton
Senior Designer
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462126
Tim is our resident hippy and creative guru. In his own time he is on a mission to see how many tree’s he can hug around the planet. This often sees him jetting off with his backpack in a polluting jet (which rests heavily on his conscience). At home he grows things you can’t eat - which is pretty useless it’s just as well he can design!
Matt Shortland
Front End Web Designer
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462129
Not only is Matt good at making your home pages welcoming he is also pretty handy with old fashioned media as he proved with his Christmas snowman sketch. When home he hides himself away from his family duties as chief war zone correspondent and transports himself far away strumming out Wigfield love and peace melodies on his beloved Stratocaster.
Greg Harvey
Digital Director
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(01933) 462186
Greg is a busy man building up cygnus’ digital department. He spends his days sat in front of a screen and in the evenings and weekends he also sits in front of a screen, he is an avid gamer and boasts a collection of every console known in the universe. To celebrate killing a record billionth alien he likes nothing better than to quaff a nice bottle of Chianti whilst emitting strange noises from his mouth.
Elaine Fairbrother
Senior Artworker

(01933) 462182
Elaine likes nothing more than to get her teeth into artworking a meaty catalogue - so it’s a good thing that she sports such a fine set of enamel. This she assures us is down to a diet of raw goldfish and as a someone who could bring out a sweat in Paula Radcliffe can outrun any drill wielding dentist.
