Naked Steve
Steve’s origins are somewhat unknown, however, he has been part of the Naked Marketing team since the early days. Occasionally, Steve gets moved upstairs as, when we can, we like to offer a chance for students to come and be a part of the team. We know that work experience is an essential tool for a future graphic designer and we take pride in being able to help. So if you would like the opportunity to steal Steve’s chair for a few days, contact dan@nakedmarketing.co.uk
Naked Marketing was born in 2002 through the ideas, experiences and frustrations of Ben Handford and David Lloyd. Both had experienced working in marketing agencies and both were convinced that creativity should be focused on the client’s project, not their invoice! Our philosophy is simple: always add more value than you charge. We achieve this by listening to our clients, understanding their needs, respecting their view and asking lots of questions. These core values remain central to everything we produce and we strongly believe that this is the reason clients come back time and time again.
