Fifteen are one of the biggest digital agencies in the East Midlands Region. With an amazingly talented team of designers, developers and digital marketers, Fifteen have won a range of prestigious awards. In this role, I had four key responsibilities; creative standards, client consultation, sales support & team management.

Creative standards: I was responsible for setting the vision for and driving the creative outputs. I implemented processes and methodologies within the design team to build a creative culture. I mentored my design team ensuring intelligent concept thinking was at the heart of what we delivered. I was proud to personally set the strategy and direct projects (such as Tinplate, Ecova, Ogre and Runarchy) which contributed to the agency being listed in Design Week’s Top 100 consultancy report.

Client consultation: For key clients, I directly helped their leadership teams to understand their goals and then discover, define and deliver creative which told authentic brand stories. I set strategy on high-level client accounts working on brand and marketing campaigns and setting direction which delivered results. I introduced consultation workshops to Fifteen which have now become part of their offering. Notable projects included consultancy for Innes England, Scape Group, Yu Energy and Willmott Dixon.

Sales support: I helped win new business for the company contributing to a 20% increase in turn over. I often supported account managers in the sales process and for potential high-value accounts often lead pitches. 

Team management: The creative department consisted of a Head of Design, a Head of UX and a team of multi-disciplined designers. I was responsible for the hiring, mentoring, development and running of this team. As well as this I also helped to develop account managers in relation to creative services. I attended the company management meetings and assisted with the companies growth strategy and business planning.
