"I had the great pleasure of line-managing Alex during his time at Big Group, where he proved to be an invaluable member of the video team.
Alex is an exceptionally hardworking and focused individual, with a tenacious approach to creative challenges and a strong drive to deliver high-quality work. Throughout his time with us, he contributed to numerous high-profile video projects from concept through to final delivery, always demonstrating reliability, creativity and attention to detail.

Arthur Ward. Creative Liaison Manager, Big Group
"Having relocated from our offices in Newbury to Big Group’s new HQ in London, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alex since the Covid-19 epidemic abated and people returned to their offices in 2021.
Amongst other things, my role as Creative Liaison Manager involves hosting a morning call with each member of the creative team to ensure everyone knows what they are expected to work on, and that they can raise any concerns or procedural issues which might impinged on the delivery of their work. During all this time, and when I was liaising with individuals on a one-to-one basis, I found Alex to be a pleasure to deal with.
Not only was Alex clearly proficient in his role as a Motion Graphic Designer, but he was also a real team player, ever willing to help and prepared to go above and beyond when the going got tough.
Alex was a popular member of the team, and I have every confidence that his career will be a long and successful one."
Eleanor Maslen, Head of Design at Omnicom Media Group UK
"Alex undertook work experience with us in our marketing department in August 2018, assisting us on various video animation projects where needed. He was very friendly and approachable with a can-do attitude to his work, which was great. Even going above and beyond to create some additional assets for us in his own time. We loved the work he did for us, which included bringing our company credentials document to life by using Adobe After Effects and would gladly have him back when we have more projects on the cards for the coming year."
Sam Barnes – Lead Creative, Manning Gottlieb OMD
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Alex. He came to Manning Gottlieb OMD for one week to gain experience and an insight into agency life. During this period, he showed us his amazing design skills and an outstanding work ethic. Based on this, we offered Alex an internship that lasted 9 months. Whilst working here, Alex supported the Design Team producing multiple videos/animations, pitch presentations, award submissions and various event/marketing collateral. Alex is a funny, kind, talented guy – a true gentleman and I’m sure will have a very successful career in Design.”
