Bev Williams Email & Phone Number

I lead a small, busy team of remote designers who produce creative content and campaigns for one of the most difficult current topics in Great Britain, energy. I create meaningful partnerships with policy teams that help us understand complex topics, in order to explain things in simple ways to consumers. Passionate about making sure our work is creative but accessible while still having impact.Responsibilities include owning the Ofgem brand, delivering compelling campaigns that reach our audiences based on needs, to inform and educate about their energy rights and how the energy system works. I also build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders, helping to drive our campaigns. I foster a positive culture and team working, bringing in freelancers to support the team during busy periods or if we don’t have the skills in-house.

I set the creative strategic direction and led a team of creatives, business partners and workflow. My team were creative investigators - I tasked them with finding the story, write the brief and approach each project agnostically, finding the right creative output for the solution. The workflow team keep the creatives happy and on track, making sure we do what we say we will.

Newport, United Kingdom

I managed a team of four creatives working on design briefs for internal and external use - from graphic design to photography, film and animation. I upskilled my team through skill gap analysis, coaching and training, helping all four progress at least one level. Highlight of my time in this role was helping the team through a successful rebrand (and winning an award for it).

I took on various design projects for companies close to home and as far afield as Australia. Projects have included animations, promotional brochures, workwear catalogue artwork, all done within each company’s brand guidance.
