We’re the Good Ideas Group, a healthcare specialist creative agency.

• Tim

  Managing Director

  Having built an in-house creative team from scratch to 21 people, Tim started over as his own boss and GIG was born. 8 years later it’s alive and kicking. If you’ve been a part of that, many thanks.

• Ade

  Animator

  It’s been the “year of video” for four years now, which makes Ade as popular as ever. Since last you asked, Ade’s developed a keenness for live action projects; all the 3D, none of the rendering.

• Aidan

  Design Director

  Our resident Mancunian, Aidan is a stickler for details, a font of technical knowledge and is always making sure our design looks the part. When he’s not obsessing over the little things, he’s taking long walks with his dog, Ludo.

• Andrei

  Animator

  Andrei is an animator who loves mashing up styles and textures, so you know you’ll never get the same work twice from him. In a good way.

• Art

  Producer/ Director

  Part Russian, Part Greek, All American Footballer, Art’s an ideas guy with momentum. He’s passionate about video in all shapes and sizes, and is (we think) the only Video Director in London with a PhD in Endocrinology.

• Bonnie

  Account Manager

  Bonnie joins the GIG team as a dedicated Account Manager.
  ⁠
  When she’s not flicking through her endless collection of Science Focus magazines, Bonnie can be found playing the violin or teaching tap dancing (she’s qualified if anyone wants lessons). ⁠

• Dan

  Animator

  Dan’s a passionate illustrator at work and at play, giving our video team a left-field perspective that clients keep coming back for. He’s not the noisiest soul, but when he speaks, people listen. If they can hear him.

• Ed

  Marketing

  Ed is our Marketing Manager and resident tropical plant hoarder.

  When he’s not busy ⁠tending to his jungle room (office), he can be found chatting to his two cats, cooking up a storm in the kitchen or daydreaming about moving to the countryside (there shall be ducks, goats, a donkey, chickens et al).

• Gianinna

  Graphic Designer

  After spending lockdown adding the perfect sourdough pizza to her résumé, Gianinna joins the GIG Design Team as a graphic designer.⁠

  ⁠Having previously worked for various agencies, including AMSBIO Life Sciences, she’s happy to dust off the flour and sink her teeth into our digital design offerings.⁠

  ⁠When not perfecting pizzas, she can be found hooked on any good murder documentaries she can find. ⁠

  ⁠Just make sure you don’t suggest cream comes first on a scone or Earl Grey isn’t a superior tea; otherwise, there may be another show being commissioned.⁠

• Isla

  Graphic Designer

  A recent graduate from the illustrious Cambridge School of Art, Isla joins the Design Team ready to hit the ground running. ⁠

  ⁠When she’s not infinitely scrolling through Pinterest or enjoying Latin music with her two cats, we can find Isla chomping at the bit for the food markets to open again. The Korean food stalls aren’t going to know what’s hit them! ⁠

  ⁠Isla also joins GIG as our first fully vaccinated staff member after volunteering at a COVID testing centre in Tunbridge Wells, during her gap year. So let’s raise a glass and say thanks to Isla for giving up this time when I’m sure a beach in Bali would have been a far more enjoyable time.

• Jake

  Video Editor

  To kick things off, we have Jake, who joins the Video Team as our new Live-Action Film Editor. It’s safe to say that Jake has already spent a lifetime working in TV and Film, kick-started by a starring role in EastEnders at the grand age of two. We can only assume he gave the Mitchell brothers a run for their money.⁠

  ⁠Whether it was at the BBC or running his own film production company, Jake’s ambition and motivation are only surpassed by his love for cat ‘Pickle’ or the hatred he holds for mushrooms.⁠

• James D

  Animator

  James is an animator with a particular interest in beautiful illustration and character design. He’s at home in 2D and 3D alike, and loves to be involved at all stages from brainstorm to upload.

• James N

  Digital Director

  James leads the digital offering at GIG, but he’s no jargon-spouter. Design is his passion, but knowing code makes his life much simpler and our offering more complete. Since James joined, GIG has been 20% more easygoing. Fact.

• Jana

  Junior Developer

  Jana previously worked in the events industry before deciding on a career transformation, teaching herself to code during the pandemic before putting her skills to the test in the real world.

  When she’s not deep in the world of PHP or JavaScript, Jana can be found putting that creative energy into enjoying either ballroom dancing or knitting up a storm.

  If there are any socks in this year’s secret Santa, we’re pretty sure who they’ll be from.

• Jon

  Art Director

  Jon heads up our Design team, and has been CEO of our North American Bureau (population: 1) since moving to Canada in September 2015. People who work with Jon remember it. Try him and see.

• Nicole

  Illustrator

  Nicole is one of our talented illustrators and animators.⁠

  When she isn’t creating beautiful work, she can be found watching Moomins, anything to do with aliens or going weak at the knees over baby ducks. Who can blame her for that last one!⁠

• Rob

  Developer

  Rob joining GIG officially signalled the birth of the digital team.

  You will often see him wearing brightly coloured shorts and snazzy T-shirts, which he accessorises with his equally brightly-coloured code. ⁠

• Robin

  Creative Director

  With 15 years of experience across broadcast, corporate television and video production, Robin brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that we’re already putting to good use. When he’s not working, Robin can be seen enjoying travel (remember that?), movies, books and sports, with his favourite football team being Liverpool FC. However, please don’t hold that against him too much.

• Roman

  Project Manager

  Roman is GIG’s Project Manager; he keeps our projects ticking over and our traffic flowing. In that capacity he’s one of our front-of-house team, so you probably already know his name… at least the easy half of it.

• Salena

  Project Manager

  Salena used to be a qualitative insight professional which sparked her interest in the power of video. One quick career change later, Salena specialises in end-to-end management of live action and animation projects, with a wealth of experience in a broad range of industry sectors.

• Stephen

  Graphic Designer

  From the sunny South Coast, Stephen’s a dark horse with a bright eye for colourful designs. We’ve yet to discover anything capable of breaking his legendary calmness… and this is a man who commutes from Brighton every day.
