Richard Portman Design

Seemed to go well though - it lasted 8 years. And it was a great time to join the business too as it grew into the confident brand it is today. Our team designed everything from their first home catalogues to Waitrose packaging. But, despite the profit share bonus, 25% discount and Partners dining room (roast lunch £1.19), it was time to leave. This was partially because I'd gained a stone in weight (puddings 19p), but mainly to broaden my career and client experience. 

After some agency hopping, experiencing the good, the bad and the ugly (mentioning no names, it's a small world), a fantastic opportunity was proposed: Help build a retail-focussed team within Tag Worldwide. Starting with a team of 5 in 2010, we quickly grew to become a busy studio with pitch wins and helped to grow existing accounts. We create everything from impactful retail campaigns to product launches, pitch-winning presentations and global POS toolkits.
