Five years ago technical wizards Rockit Design and branding maestros 3 Men & A Suit merged to create a powerhouse of
creative thinking and digital excellence.
"Unrivalled on the South Coast this is a tour de force of emotional intelligence combined with seamless technical excellence,
to offer unrivalled marketing power for our clients."
Together we provide a combined 60 years of trading, we know what we are doing, we are trusted,
you can’t get a safer pair of hands!
Together, we’re creating exciting brands and campaigns and big design and marketing experiences that make people breathe in, sit back and look at things differently. Tilt the head, delve a little deeper and you just know this is a team I want to work with.
Chris Orr
Managing Director
Chris thrives on business efficiency and is a self confessed detail freak, everybody also knows he's a bit of a "perfectionist" which means very little slips through the net on his watch! He loves a nice statistic, often guilty of being more excited by Google Analytics than pretty web design... Well someone has to be! His dark secret is that he's actually a very talented technical Illustrator, but don't tell him that we told you.
Simon Heron
Creative Director
A Self-confessed MAMIL (middle-aged man in lycra) Simon's apres-cycle cool down is probably the most traumatic part of the studio's day, as he does insist on a cool down period while wearing the aforementioned regalia. When not on the bike, his boundless enthusiasm and creativity drive the team to embrace the latest trends in design and creativity and he still loves keeping his 'hands oily' (figuratively speaking) by doing most of the studio's video and photography. That's when he's not 'Blue Sky' thinking about clients' Brandscapes!
Diana Scott
Accounts
Di is the Miss Money Penny of the team. Although part time, she still has her finger firmly on the button and her eye on the numbers. Tough but fair, she's not a girl to mess with when it comes to the accounts. She loves sun, sea, sand, all things wild and of course clients that pay their bills on time.
Laura Williams
Business Development & Account Manager
Loves all things creative, colourful and quirky. Laura grew up in Holland and still cycles everywhere but doesn't come into the office in full lycra - just a wicker basket! She has travelled all over the world learning about local cultures, collecting local recipes and even wrote a book about it. She has eaten some pretty weird things (sorry Paola), but favourite food is still avocados! When she isn't seeking out another adventure you can find her down at the beach or in the garden attempting grow vegetables. She also loves her barbie (cooker not the doll).
Brook Fabian
Senior Designer & Brand Wizard
Yes, Brook Fabian is his real name! It's also the main reason that 3Men² hired him. We figured with a name that arty he must be good - and thank goodness he is! Brook likes to get involved in as many aspects of the design process as he can. He is also the other half of 3Men's photographic and more recently film department and as far as he knows has sold the most pictures on The Alamy Photolibrary between him and Simon. Other things he is interested in are swimming in the sea, ice cold Mexican beer and Nordic Noir.
Jess Charge
Account Manager & Senior Designer
Jess loves to design for both print and web, anything from an advert in a newspaper or a flyer for a maildrop to a large responsive website or an email marketing campaign, she laps it up. She has retained numerous clients for many years with her efficiency (along with great design) - they know she just makes things happen! Is a self confessed Instagram addict.
Dave Birch
Senior Designer & Visual Ninja
Massively experienced Dave is still a 'huge sponge' for picking up every trend and new direction in our dynamic industry. David loves nothing more than getting stuck into a creative challenge and no one is more 'can do' than our Mr. Birch. Away from work he's an avid blogger and cinema crazy... so if you need to know what to watch, you know who to ask!
Mike Johnson
Illustrator Extraordinaire - Old School & Digital
Mike is the original 'Jack of all trades' illustrator. Traditionally trained in watercolours, airbrush and inks but now, through a long and experienced transition, pushes pixels not paint... he's our Mr 3D which includes creating a lot of very striking architectural CGI's. When not being all 'digital' he throws back big time by driving a 1959 VW camper, growing huge moustaches and being rather dashing as an extra in films.
Beki Simms
Lead Web Developer, SEO & Google Wizard
Beki heads up the web tech and is our 'go to' girl on all things internet. She's super swift at turning the lovely visuals created by our designers into fully functioning, responsive websites. She is so very charming and softly spoken, it comes as a bit of a shock to find out that she is actually quite a 'Rock Chick' who enjoys a bit of 'post-hardcore'... that's bands like Architects and System of a Down to those not in the know!Tina Piper
Accounts
Tina is the Miss Money Penny of the team. Although part time, she still has her finger firmly on the button and her eye on the numbers. Tough but fair, she's not a girl to mess with when it comes to the figures, on her watch the numbers always reconcile. To completely win her over, all you need to do is pay your bills on time :)
Daniel James
Designer
Although to our English ears he sounds a bit.. "Top O' The Morning' To Ya" This erstwhile Irishman is in fact from Somerset but in our defence Daniel reliably informs us that he sounds Irish in England and English in Ireland!! He also likes Mad Max & Planet of the Apes films, as well as keeping fit - could this be to survive a post-apocalyptic wasteland we wonder? Well all that aside he's a cracking designer and all round nice guy!
Paola Georgieva
Designer
Say Здравейте to Paola (that's 'hello' in Bulgarian don't you know). She's an ace designer, she's Bulgarian and she buys great cookies; the perfect skill set for her role as a Junior Designer and Slavic Translator. Even though she refuses to eat anything 'Grown on the Bone' and stands against the ultimate studio favourite - bacon sandwiches, she always gets a big portion of support, banter and lettuce. Paola claims no horror movie can frighten her... mainly because she always looks away during the scary bits!
Sajan Simkhada
Web Developer, CMS & Email Marketing Guru
Sajan specialises in responsive website design that maximises the massive growth in web content viewed on mobile devices. Sajan builds bespoke content management systems enabling clients to manage their own website contents efficiently and easily, he also builds html emails and works with Mailchimp. Hardworking and very technical he lets his hair down with a kick-about on the football pitch and COD (Call of Duty) on PS4, he is also a big Man U fan.
Justine Bunot
Account Manager
Justine loves when it's beautiful, and when it's done well. She can go from one subject to another, from one job to another but always with analysis! How is she doing? She's French, that's all. She is not strong in drawing, but she loves to imagine what new projects will become. She is not perfect with the English language, but she loves discovering, listening, understanding.. Besides working, she also likes to eat frog legs and drink red wine. She's ‘Française’, we told you!
Melany Scott
Front of House & Office Manager
Originally a spicy Tomale from Colombia, Mel has grown up in England and developed a taste for afternoon tea and moaning about the weather. When she isn't walking her Westie, Pablo, she's got her nose in a book particularly enjoying romantic comedies. Mel has a passion for anything creative and out of the ordinary and loves keeping up to date with fashion and makeup. Mel has recently taken up baking and is proud to say she hasn't had any soggy bottoms yet!
Hannah Thomas
Designer
Hannah has recently moved down from the North to join the team. She has a degree in Architecture and loves all things creative! She holds a diverse skill set in 2D, 3D and motion graphics, and will try her hand at anything creative! She's a big foodie, and loves cooking and discovering new recipes!
Sophie Runnicles
Studio Manager
Originally from London where I studied fine art and photography, I moved down to Southampton where I obtained a degree in Photography. I have travelled around Europe but my most recent adventure was to South East Asia where I spent 6 months travelling 8 different countries. Outside of work I enjoy scuba diving and trips to the new forest.Leadership team
