CO FOUNDER

Rob is the one who makes sure all our projects run smoothly and stay on schedule, so if you work with us you’ll definitely meet him at some point. Although he had a slightly more techy start to his career, with a first job programming in HTML, the main chunk of his working life was spent with Reader's Digest (which is where he met Cahoot co-conspirator Mark). In his 13 years there he was the lead designer on a wide range of projects including direct mail campaigns, brochures, emails and web design and development.

CO FOUNDER

Mark, although now officially retired and spending more hours on the golf course, still lends a hand when we get busy and if we need the benefit of his great wisdom! He began his working life in photographic printing for ads and fashion, then moved on to doing creative artwork at some big ad agencies, followed by many years in studio management at places like Face Creative, Reader's Digest and Black Pig. He’s also trained companies in the use of database and creative software, before finally setting up Cahoot.

PHOTOGRAPHER

One of the best ways to make your materials eye-catching and appealing is with high-quality images – and for that we use Claire. From simple headshots of your team to on-location pictures of your organisation in action, Claire is great at capturing the essence of people and places. Claire always loved photography, but when she was younger she was shy, so being behind the camera was an escape from having her own photo taken! This experience helped her as a professional photographer, especially working with clients who might also be nervous having their photo taken.

TECH WIZARD

Tony is the one who makes sure that all the fantastic digital stuff we create actually functions. His work is mostly behind the scenes, so you might not get to meet him – but everything that your new website or digital platform is capable of will be down to him. His interest in shiny technology began long long ago, with a few IBM PC’s and a handful of screwdrivers. Since then he’s consulted for ITV, the Guardian, News International and many more, specialising in important but complicated-sounding things like email migration and publishing workflow.

VIDEOGRAPHER

Andy can help you bring your vision and ethos to life on your website or social media with simple, fun and high-quality videos. His years as a journalist for the BBC have made him a great visual storyteller and he loves to get to know you and your organisation so he can show people the best of who you are and what you do. He’s also filmed promotional and music videos and been the lead videographer at a number of high-profile events, as well as filming at smaller and more personal occasions like birthdays and weddings.
