Fancy seeing you here
So you want to know more about the brains behind the campaigns?
Long story short: we met each other around five years ago, and we’ve been working as a team for four. We’re from very different places and have very different backgrounds, but that broad perspective only benefits us when it comes to cracking briefs.
We love a creative challenge whoever the client may be. FMCG, agricultural science, and home security are just some of the eclectic topics we’ve tackled. We approach everything with an integrated mindset, because the true test of a concept is how far it can go.
We also both really like dogs.
Lauren Coles
Art Director
Lover of art, advertising enthusiast, and closet Sudoku addict. I’ve been drawing since before I could walk, and while my art may not have made it onto SMart (RIP), I’m determined to make my mark in the advertising world. Before I joined the Manchester agency scene, I studied Creative Advertising at Leeds Arts Uni (and also won the coveted title of Chatterbox of the Year).
Fareed Athman
Copywriter
Born and raised in sunny Manchester, I’ve been a writer in one way or another for over ten years now. I studied journalism at uni, but worked my way into ads and haven’t looked back since. When I’m not crafting concepts, you’ll usually find me in a cinema seat, at a local basketball game, or reading some form of dystopian fiction. Nothing cheers me up more.
