Alex H

Graphic Designer

There’s more to Alex than meets the eye. He’s not only a retouching magician, but multi-tasking creative – coming up with ideas, bringing them to life, and seeing them into the world

Alex J

Senior Art Director

Bad singing, paddle spinning, idea brimming (and award winning) creative and designer, Alex never ceases to deliver. It's no surprise then that clients love his clear, creative, and considered approach to all that he does as much as we do.

Alissa

Account Director

Be it print, digital, motion, experiential or strategy, Alissa uses her ninja-like instincts to make events and integrated campaigns happen (as if by magic) across B2C and B2B clients. She makes a proper good northern brew, too.

Andy B

Managing Director - London

Andy has spent his career helping companies like The AA, PartyPoker and Mercia boost their online presence, grow traffic, and convert digital activity into commercial success. As well as having a passion for all things digital, he’s a magician and member of the world-famous members club, The Magic Circle.  

Andy F

Account Executive

Joining 438 fresh out of university, Andy has become a fully-fledged member of our plate-spinning club. If he’s not putting his organisation skills to work, he’s supporting our auto and B2B clients on a daily basis.

Andy F

Senior Art Director

As well as having superpower-level design and art direction skills, Andy is the studio’s trusted sounding board. His versatility, sharp eye for detail, and appetite for the latest trends helps give our work its distinct and creative edge.

Andy W

Founding Partner

As a C-suite level consultant to global brands for over 25 years, some might say Andy’s had more strategic brand experience than hot dinners. But that would seriously underestimate how much he enjoys hot dinners.

Blue

Office Dog

Blue is our office dog and wellbeing officer. Our research has shown that simply petting Blue lowers the stress hormone cortisol and her tapping feet when receiving a treat or zoomies across the office, increases the feel-good hormone oxytocin.

Cath

Office Manager

Cath is our office manager, health & safety coordinator, book keeper and biscuit buyer but her main role is 438’s Chief of Happiness. She keeps everyone on top form with a listening ear, some friendly advice, a bit of bants and if all else fails a satisfying treat from a smorgasbord of snacks.

Charlotte

Account Director

With more than 25 years' experience on both agency and client side, Charlotte brings vast B2B experience to the team, along with expertise in shopper marketing and FMCG. Another seasoned plate-spinner, she’s usually (at least) one step ahead on any given project.

Christie

Senior Account Planner

Coming from the fast-paced world of factual television, Christie's fully-honed strategic and planning superpowers lead the way – working across all of our B2B, B2C, and internal comms projects. After all, there are few problems in life that can’t be solved with a good diagram.

Conan

Automotive Account Director

Having worked in Dubai for a decade on award-winning campaigns for some of the world's largest automotive clients, Conan now heads up our auto team. When he's not mapping out a project, he's either snowboarding or maintaining his exotic Mideast-style beard.

Damian

Creative Director

Having cut his creative teeth on some of the biggest household brands in the world, and learned his craft from some of the best talent around, Damian always leads the way forward to brilliant things.

Daniel

Technical Director

Dan leads the development team of our digital division and is driven by a refusal to settle for mediocrity and the ambition to always give the customer the best experience possible. And, if there's a karaoke booth going spare, he does a mean rendition of "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton.

Danny

Graphic Designer

Branding, brochures, publications, packaging, and typography (to name a few) – whatever print and digital design work you need, Danny has a canny way of doing it with ease. With a background in product design, and experience across pretty much every sector in the universe, he’s a bit of a creative marvel. His only weakness is being allergic to pretty much everything, except colour.

Daryl

Senior Account Manager

Our resident brand guidelines cop, Daryl is a multi-tasking superstar. She brings her collective experience in events and shopper marketing to the auto team – working her magic on everything from event logistics, to campaigns and marcomms.

Dylan

Senior Account Manager

A calm head with a keen eye for detail, Dylan brings over 20 years’ experience in retail, medical, finance, and automotive to the 438 table. He approaches every project as methodically as he makes coffee. Because if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

Fiona

Senior Copywriter

From taglines to TVCs – and everything in between – Fi’s been copywriting for brands from all over the world for more years than she can count on her fingers and toes.

Gail

Content Writer

An established writer with over 25 years’ experience (how old?!) in writing copy, Gail loves nothing more than drinking strong black coffee, listening to Lizzo or The Moth, and writing and researching blog posts, features, or white papers. Actually, that’s a complete lie. She’d rather be rooting around a charity shop or going for a run but unfortunately, they don’t pay the bills.

George

Developer

George loves building and fixing websites. He's also an accomplished magician and is equally amazing with a pack of cards, so if you need some magic for your wedding or party, George is your man!

Georgia

Account Manager

Globe-trotting Georgia works closely with our events team, bringing B2B campaigns alive in real life and virtually, and supporting with day-to-day projects in ways that make our clients happy clients. =

Georgia G

Account Executive

With a background in events marketing, Georgia has turned her razor-sharp focus to social media strategy and campaigns. We like to think of her as our happy snapper and content sharer.

Helenka

Managing Director

Now managing director at 438, Helenka has come a long way since starting out at the agency packing and posting rugby balls for a promo. She’s since worked closely with a myriad of clients over the years – paying meticulous attention to detail and mastering the art of simplicity along the way.

Ian D

Creative Studio Manager

With more than two decades of agency experience, Ian is a jack of many trades and master of them all – with a particular knack for being organised and making our studio a happy and harmonious hive of creativity.

Jake

Account Director

A strong all-rounder with experience across B2B, B2C, digital, and motion (to name a few), chances are you’ll find Jake on Zoom with clients, or rolling his sleeves up to refine and define our ever-evolving processes.

Jo

Account Director

When Jo believes in what she’s working on, it’s a sight to behold. Which means she rarely shifts out of go-go-go mode at 438 – working tenaciously on key B2B and internal comms projects with genuine passion and zest.

Kyri

Social Media Manager

Keeping brands competitive in an ever-evolving social world is no easy feat. But Kyri does it with gusto – bringing a strategic approach to social media management, content planning, and reporting.

Liv

Producer

Be it video or animation, behind the camera or in the editor’s chair, Liv sprinkles her gold production dust on virtually anything to do with moving pictures – bringing creative ideas to life every day.

Paul

Founding Partner

Since co-founding 438 Marketing in 2006, Paul’s entrepreneurial spirit has seen it grow into a multi-million-pound business. Leading the Henkel account globally for 20 years - and breaking new ground in marketing effectiveness for brands like Pritt, Sellotape, Loctite, and No More Nails - Paul is three decades of brand marketing excellence in the making.

Sophie

Senior Account Manager

Having been with 438 since it opened its doors in 2006, Megs has well and truly mastered the art of spinning plates across all manner of deliverables - from DIY and automotive, to child services and women's health.

Steph

Senior Account Manager

Since launching her career in advertising with 438, Steph has become a driving force in the agency – working on all-things automotive, proving a stickler for detail, and knowing more than most about vehicle specs.

Tom

Account Manager

Having worked with some of the biggest dealership groups in the North West, Tom supports our auto clients on everything from sales events to all-things print. He’s also loyal to his brews – almost as much as he is to Man City.
