Dave proves valuable addition to web team

Experienced designer Dave Martin is the latest recruit to join fast-expanding creative agency The bgroup, making a 10-strong design and digital team dedicated to delivering innovative marketing and media campaigns to a UK-wide client base.

Dave, 24, left Solihull College in Birmingham armed with diplomas in graphic design and visual art and design, and has experience of a wide range of programming and digital design tools.

His career history includes an illustrious track record in print, new media, web design and games artistry, and he has worked on a series of high profile campaigns on behalf of a series of commercial, charity and not for profit organisations in his previous roles as a senior designer.

Managing director Siobhan Bales said: “Dave is a very talented addition to a team that is set to help us achieve our very ambitious expansion plans.

“We took one look at his portfolio and knew he had the skills and the qualities we were looking for. His wide-ranging experience across both traditional and new media channels make him the perfect fit to join an already strong team.

“Clients turn to us for help in engaging with hard to reach audiences, and we need staff with experience of innovative tools in order to reach them. Although his new role as a web designer will see him play a key part in the growth of our digital division, his background and experience of print and graphic design make him the perfect addition to our existing skills portfolio. Having him on board will help expand our client base even further, and we are delighted to welcome him to the team.”

David said: “This was a great opportunity for me to join a fast growing communications agency with a top notch reputation.

“The pace at which the communications environment is evolving means harnessing digital tools to constantly come up with new and exciting ways to reach people. I am proud to be joining such a talented team of people working on innovative projects, and look forward to playing my part in the company’s continued success.”

In his spare time Dave follows his lifelong interest in applying fine art painting and contemporary art to interior decor uses.

The bgroup employs 20 staff in the North East and at its London offices, providing a range of services including strategic marketing, campaign management, advertising, branding, graphic and web design, digital development and copywriting.
