Gravitas London

Experienced creative, PR and account people

Here are a few mini profiles that we’ll be adding to as we go:

George – Creative Director

George is the founder of Gravitas aiming to bring heavyweight creative and marketing people to supplement agencies as a freelance operation, or to work directly with end clients. He has a wealth of experience in well known London agencies as an art director and creative head. He has run his own design consultancy and most recently headed a 28 strong integrated agency in London as Design Director and Head of Digital.

Simon – Marketing expertise from both sides of the fence

Simon is an experienced marketing professional with many years spent in the business and has worked on both sides of the fence in agencies, and also as a client including BT, 02 and Epson. Simon’s key skills are in delivering quality, measurable marketing initiatives in both traditional and new media channels. If you need someone to articulate your ‘elevator pitch’ – a simple concept that is often the hardest thing to articulate for businesses in a consistent way – then Simon is the man for you. He also has an academic career lecturing on Brand Strategy and Marketing Communications at Bucks New University and West Herts College.

Gill - Project management, and more

Gill is something of a hybrid having spent equally as long client side in project management and comms roles as she has agency side. She has considerable experience in major blue chips and recently has focussed on internal engagement and communications, including experiential and interactive, and enjoys juggling multiple workstreams and tricky schedules.

Nick – Sales, marketing and public relations

Nick brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as a sales, marketing and PR professional spanning 30 years. With a no-nonsense, effective, jargon free approach he has the ability to consult and advise with clarity and meaning. He has worked at director level for the last 15 years both within commercial organisations and agencies.

Rob – Marketing strategist / concept / copy

Strange beast, an ex-Saatchi account man who has spent the bulk of his career in the provinces providing a total service to SMEs, mainly in the consumer leisure sector. He has the ability to think like an account planner, yet come up with some of the wilder creative ideas that will drive a premium brand into the audiences consciousness quickly, then move them to obediently follow the call to action.

Graham – Search engine expert

If you want to know about SEO, PPC, social networking or traffic driving, then Graham is your man. With nearly 20 years’ experience – making him there at the dawn of digital – he has the skills and answers to your needs at his fingertips.

Mark – Concepts and copywriting

Mark has worked in the agency world across all areas and is at home starting from a blank sheet of paper. Apart from being able to distil the essential USPs from complicated and disparate B2B briefs, then find ways of getting the messages across in a compelling way, he is also an accomplished scriptwriter.

Omer - digital media entrepreneur

Omer has an eclectic mix of commercial background, creative experience, marketing knowledge and technical expertise. As a digital media entrepreneur he has four successful start-ups to date. At board director level he has represented some of the world’s top brands both above and below the line – including advertising, PR, DM, sales promotion, partnership marketing, digital and mobile, loyalty and CRM. Omer’s specialist business skills including planning, strategy, sales and marketing and commercial management.

Mark – Twitter guru

Mark is an award winning ex-sales expert who advises both businesses and individuals on how to utilise Twitter to the full, using a clear and jargon free approach. Mark has nearly 13,000 Twitter followers and in his capacity as an expert, has appeared on radio and other media, and has given talks throughout the UK. Mark was a very early adopter of Twitter, having joined in April 2008. It has been his passion, his love and his full time business ever since…
