Stephen Blanks / Strategy & Business Development

I have more than seventeen years’ experience in every aspect of brand development. I’ve worked on and managed a diverse range of projects
for business to business clients ranging from PLCs to SMEs. I have run workshops with businesses, given talks and also developed brand strategy plans at board level.

I believe that in order to create exciting brands that stimulate and attract the people you want to talk to, you have to immerse yourself in their business. You need to understand what makes them tick, what their offering is and how to translate that into a meaningful message that triggers the start of a relationship with the customer. It’s then about designing and developing the relevant communication tools that resonate with key audiences.

I prefer to ask why, rather than say yes. I like to challenge preconceptions in order to achieve the best return on a client’s investment.

Sue Carr / Project Management & Finance

Having begun my career in engineering and retail, I have a strong grasp of both the client and marketing sides of business. In Marketing, I've experienced and succeeded in a broad spectrum of activities. I understand the challenges that businesses of all sizes face and I'm well-equipped to help my clients achieve their crucial return on investment. 

My extensive marketing experience has taken in product launches, exhibitions (both internal and external), corporate identity, total service delivery as well as management, both day to day and financial, of the company I run with Stephen. I have worked with a wide range of clients ranging from charities to blue chip companies. In all instances my aim has been, and continues to be, providing the best possible and most effective solution from nose to tail. Clients I currently work with include Johnson Matthey Catalysts, ABB Engineering Services, Silverstone Building Consultancy and Norcare.
