People
Our key players have all gained experience in areas other than advertising and marketing, so they have well-rounded business knowledge on which to draw upon.

She manages most of our larger clients, providing day-to-day processing of ads as well as helping clients with a range of recruitment solutions.

Bob Bohme Creative Director/Copywriter
Given that Bob used to run his own graphic design company, there's not much he doesn't know about devising and producing elegant creative solutions. Basically he's been there, done it all and got the t-shirt, which is extremely reassuring for clients and colleagues alike!
