Key People
Simon Barbato | CEO
What's the big idea? Over the past 25 years, I've learnt that focusing on the small detail will help you to find the answers to this big question. And that's what I love doing. Immersing myself and my team into client organisations, asking questions, challenging views, uncovering truths and then constructing inspiring strategies for brands and companies.
Kate Gorringe | Creative Director
Designer, art director, headline writer - if it's a creative solution that's needed, I'll wear the hat that suits the job. With a background that spans branding, integrated communications and advertising, it's compelling ideas that drive the way I work: reducing a complex issue to a simple thought and making it work at every touch point, regardless of the medium.
Adam Partridge | Strategy & Planning Director
I head up the Strategy and Planning team. I'm a creative thinker who turns complex strategic brand challenges into brilliantly simple and inspiring ideas that make a real difference to our clients' businesses.
Ellie Wilson | Managing Partner
I head up the Client Services, Operations and Finance teams ensuring we balance strategic and creative excellence with commercial performance and client delight. With a people-centric style my focus is on creating the environment for everyone in the business to thrive.
