Aw, shucks guys...
“Emma is a thoughtful, experienced and imaginative creative. She knows her stuff, and is a great source of guidance and direction for less experienced creatives. She is calm and positive even when those about her are flapping. She pays attention to detail and probes briefs to get to the heart of the matter.
Ask her a question, and you know the response will be well considered and intelligent. Give her a task, and she will go above and beyond what’s expected. Her work is first rate, always.
Emma inspires confidence in those around her, including clients. She’s also charmingly modest, and I’m sure this reference will make her blush. It’s nothing but the truth, though.”
Paul Kitcatt
“Emma has a brilliant and sharp mind for ideas, either creating her own or helping others get theirs to a great place - always pro-active and always with a mind to the end user. Her knowledge and skills mean she has always been a brilliant role model to me personally for what an art director truly is and how they should craft. What she can bring to your team is a gift.”
Richard Morgan, CD, VMLY&R Commerce
“You get more than just the requirement with Emma - and she always thinks around everything, curiously questioning and approaching briefs from all angles. She is highly organised and collaborative; projects run smoothly with Emma at the centre - she never fails to deliver work that surprises and opens your mind to other ways of doing things.”
