As one of three designers in a creative marketing agency, I was required to:• Redevelop the brand identities for our Indian-based multinational pharmaceutical clients, which included: Dr Reddy’s, Jubilant Life Sciences, Laurus Laboratories, Neuland Laboratories and Sai Life Sciences. This largely consisted of modernising their websites and creating new B2B marketing materials, including brochures, email communications and social media ads with our revised branding. I also had a major role each year in designing exhibition stands (each approx 100m2) for these companies hugely important worldwide tradeshows, along with all the advertising that appeared at the venues and nearby transport hubs (metro stations, etc).• Rigorously maintain the corporate websites of both our clients and the agency’s own project websites. One such project was building from scratch in WordPress a brand new website for Val Rive French Lettings (a separate business interest of the owner of Wing Lee Creative). This included copywriting all text, sourcing all images, and putting this content together in a clear and informative way to entice guests. A complete booking and payment system was added using the theme's plugins.• Create both internal and customer-facing marketing materials, including posters, invite cards and email invitations, for clients of SMG (a customer research company) that include: Domino’s, Game, GLH Hotel Group, HMV, Homebase, Pets At Home, Powerleague, Shell and Waterstones. Because of the quality of my work and my ability to handle tight deadlines, SMG insisted on working with me at Wing Lee Creative after I left the Teds Agency. • Produce (with the aid of stock images) all the illustrations for 'Patricia the Hippo' – a series of children’s books – together with accompanying promotional materials.• Assist/mentor the junior graphic designer(s) whenever I knew I could provide valuable insight or they sought help.

Tasked with managing the everyday demands of a highly-respected design agency, I also:• Produced designs and artwork for the following major clients: Astra Zeneca, Barry M Cosmetics, Boston Scientific, Filippo Berio, Fujifilm, Gardman, General Electric, Harman Kardon, JBL, Osprey London, SMG and Suncrest Drinks.• Designed and artworked, with input from my Creative Director, all the Barry M Cosmetics national advertising and point-of-sale that appeared in Boots and Superdrug stores. Over four years, Barry M grew from a little-known cosmetics company to an established name on the high street.• Worked for over three years, in a team of three, on all the national advertising and point-of-sale work for Filippo Berio – the number one olive oil brand in the UK. I also created new olive oil bottle and pesto jar label artwork that appeared in all major supermarkets, helping the brand maintain its market lead.• Created full-page ads for the Harman Kardon/JBL group, (home and car audio) for over three years, that were published in all the major audio-visual magazines.• Originated the packaging and point-of-sale artwork for Gardman (bird care products) that were stocked in garden centres and DIY stores nationwide.• For Osprey London (luxury leather goods), I created point-of-sale posters, tickets and packaging solutions for their outlet stores and their displays within John Lewis and Debenhams.

Luton, United Kingdom

At this small company offering print and design services, I was primarily responsible for:• Creating brochure and leaflet designs for the company’s in-house clients.• Ensuring all artwork files I created (and received from outside design agencies) were set up accurately – including flight-checking and correctly imposing pages – before sending to the RIP and onto the company’s digital printing presses.
