More importantly we're a collection of individuals; a team of creatives, a variety of views, a wealth of opinions, a barrel load of experience and connoisseurs of interesting conversations. We share a fascination with good design and new technology, an insatiable curiosity, and a belief that clarity and purpose are key to creating communications that work.
We know that getting it right means listening, questioning, challenging ideas and identifying what the core objectives are. Understanding the motivations of our clients and their audience means we can combine our experience, processes and viewpoints with our client's industry knowledge and ambitions to create engaging experiences of any size, shape or form.
From bespoke print and DM to wide ranging digital solutions created in partnership with our sister agency Make it Digital – whatever you want to say, Make it Clear.
Bevan Thomas | Account Manager
Hailing from New Zealand, Bevan came to us via the punishing rugby fields of France. Combining boundless enthusiasm for design with the kind of determination needed to shake off a Frenchman stamping on your head and go on to take the win, Bevan throws himself whole heartedly into every project and makes sure it not only gets done, but done right.

Rebecca Jeffrey | Senior Designer
Apart from Kylie Minogue Bex is the most famous Australian to ever move to the UK, so much so that Kylie is her middle name. Away from the spotlight Bex is the beating heart of Clear's creative team providing inspiration, direction and ensuring what we do is to the best standard possible.

Jay Nicholl | Strategic Director
When you need a plan, Jay's the man who can. A sublime mix of rational thinking, problem solving and long-term vision ensure Jay's as perfect to his clients as his jibbing is on the piste. Ensuring every angle is investigated and evaluated, Jay's solution will fix the problem, whatever the problem, and he's also likely to throw in a few freebie ideas too (much to the dismay of our finance team!)

Gerrard Porter | Account Manager
Dedicated, diligent, deliberate and decisive, it's a shame that Gerrard's parents didn't name him Dave so we could get a bit of great alliterative copy in here. The laid back appearance belies a fierce determination that ensures that every project is completed to the highest quality and he can often be seen burning the midnight oil as he pursues perfection, or possibly the secret to eternal life…

Marie Maurer | Account Director
A former strategic planner, Marie won't let you hear the last of a weak proposition. Pushing our client and creative teams to exceed your expectations every single time, Marie can often be found staring into thin air pondering ground-breaking consumer insights (or perhaps just having misplaced her glasses). Marie watches the adverts and mutes the programmes to make tea (strong, no sugar), knows John Hegley intimately and should not, under any circumstance, be trusted with any form of modern gadgetry.

Sarah Edwards | Creative Director
Every team needs a power house, and Sarah is our Battersea Power Station (when it was working, of course). All within Clear gladly cede their creative ideas to Sarah for feedback and always feel better and stronger for her input. Sarah incorporates the pillars of information architecture, message hierarchy and brand identity with fantastic creative flair. These are also the cornerstones around which clear communications are borne.

Catalina Cotoara | Finance
In many ways, Catalina likes numbers more than people. They don't answer back, they fit neatly into mathematical models and, if Cat's got anything to do with it, they always add up. Cat also moonlights as our office manager, keeping everything ship-shape and stocked so that when you ask for a low-calorie peppermint and eucalyptus tea with extra fennel, you get it. Originally hailing from Romania, Cat came to London seeking a fun, creative place to work - and boy has she found it.

Ali Nicholl | Account Director
Ali strolled into Clear bushy of beard and sharp of mind early in 2010. Focussed, creative and determined, he brings the sort of problem solving expertise usually associated with hungry squirrels to his account management and always delivers for our clients.

Sasha Klimov | Account Executive
While rumours of Sasha being a direct descendent of the Russians Tzars remain unproven, what has been proven time and time again is Sasha's commitment to our clients and the highest quality result. Working across a wide range of clients and projects Sasha provides likes to challenge establish ideas and seek ever better solutions.

Charlie Thompson | Copywriter
You'd think (being the resident word wrangler and social media whizz kid) Charlie would be allowed to write his own intro, but we decided against it. The only person in the office with a legitimate reason to spend all day on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube – somehow he still manages to produce great copy for our clients. In the process keeping the whole office up to date with the bleeding edge of digital marketing, and LOLCATZ, obviously.

Tony Mulvany | Senior Designer
An eye for detail and a skilful touch make Tony the perfect advocate for your brand. The best designers create work that subtly enhances your established design style; Tony's got this down to a fine art. If you need a designer that's on-brand and in-tune, Tony's your man. But that doesn't mean he lacks new ideas, innovative design and fresh perspective; he's got the lot.

Vanessa Davey | Junior Account Manager
Don't be deceived by Vanessa's small stature and quiet demeanour, when something really needs to be done – she's the one to deliver. Project plans fall straight into line as soon as she glances at them and suppliers are like putty in her hands. When it's time critical (and let's face it when isn't it time critical) Vanessa is Clear's secret weapon.
