Hi, I’m James, a Senior Designer with 15 years in the advertising and marketing industry. In that time I have worked for specialist agencies and large media owners including Primesight and Global working on outdoor, print and digital artwork. Working with brands including Disney, This Girl Can, Oddbox, Courtney Black, Levis, Uniqlo, Radio X, Capital, Heart, LBC, Smooth, Gold, Classic FM.

Experience

Global
I currently lead the commercial design team at Global. Working with clients that are advertising on one/or many of our 253,000 outdoor sites to create a successful creative, from concept to final design.

As Creative Lead I also work on the Global radio brands social, digital and advertising campaigns. Including the UK’s biggest Christmas Party, Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball featuring Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga.

Primesight
As Airport Design Lead I led on design for the portfolio of 10 airports. Working with the sales teams to provide presentations, mockups and artwork.

Alongside this I worked on large format digital outdoor projects which included cinema foyers and BT’s StreetHub network.

To compliment my design work at Primesight I also managed the photography, coordinating the capturing of campaigns across the 30,000 sites nationwide.

All before Primesight was bought and I was brought over to Global.

Airport Media
I joined this small media owner on a 9-month maternity cover contract to try something new and learn about the other side of outdoor media and in particular the airport environment. I worked on creative solutions for Gatwick and Luton Airport across digital and large format print.

All before Airport Media was bought and I was brought over to Primesight.

Kinetic
As the sole in-house designer I was responsible for a wide range of marketing and digital projects for the global agency.

Notable projects from my time there include the annual publication ‘This Concerns You’ – a magazine full of advertising innovations and trends from around the globe. And the collateral and artwork designed for three successful business pitches - Tesco, Molson Coors and Warner Bros.
