DAM is my baby so to speak having started the company back in 2001 after many years in the design business designing and account managing.  My aim back then was to run a design agency that offers great service, great value for money and above all great design, produced with an enthusiasm that really shines through.  I am pleased to say that I've been successfully doing that for ten years now and I'm loving every minute of it!

My role at DAM Creative is client liaison, sales, and generally managing the business so if you're interested in anything we do you can talk to me.

We are always looking to be innovative in our field and the of launch of Archie backs up that claim, being of real use to many of our existing customers as well as appealing to new clients.  The potential for on-line ordering and amending will save time and resources for companies with many branches trying to order from a central point and at a fraction of the cost of other on-line software.

I look forward to hearing from you should you have any design requirements or questions about anything we're up to. Keep an eye on www.damcreative.co.uk as well for regular competitions and our latest work.

I have been involved with DAM Creative since September 2009. Since joining Grant and his team, I have set about refining the company to better meet the needs of our clients and achieve even better results for DAM.

The customer focus at DAM has always been second to none, this was one of the ideals that really excited me about the company having spent 30 odd years in the hospitality industry.

The team and I are really looking forward to the new year, not least of all for me as I have recently joined a local golf club, so am hoping that 2010 is the year I can get my handicap down to single figures!

Hope to see lots of new and old customers in 2010, (maybe for a round of golf) and to the country coming out of this goddam recession.

Well, yet again at DAM, there are further innovations! I have been discussing with Grant for sometime the development of a print management arm of the business, solely to mangage our clients' old and new print inventory.

I have, for my sins, been a man and boy scenario within the print industry for many years. We won't talk about those, but let's just say some time indeed! It is what I enjoy doing, I have worked with great creatives within the West Midlands and beyond, which led me to become one of the family here at DAM.

With DAM Print Management, we want to take the hassle out of interviewing printers and prevent information getting lost in communication, the hiccups that can occur when purchasing print. I pride myself on attention to detail and when it comes to print, well, I truly know my subject.

We have established our own trade directory of suppliers who will be a trusted source of print. We will have the client relationship and the knowledge of the artwork to ensure a smooth, cost effective route to supplying colour accurate, superb quality print, managed closely by ourselves, which can also be viewed and monitored on our own archive browser, Archie. A few simple clicks and we will be alerted to act and provide a seamless print service to you, our valued client.

When not printing I can normally be found walking around the woods where I live and getting my Landie stuck (occasionally). Truly love the outdoors and all it offers it can also keep me fit as the gym doesn't appeal to me these days.

I shall look forward to answering your requests in due course.

Colin.

It's my job to get things like this web site up and running!

I'm the senior designer in the DAM studio with responsibility for the aesthetics of the jobs that come through the studio as well as branding the public face of the company as a whole. I'm also in charge of making sure all the bits of technology we use are all happy and talking to each other.

Out of the studio, I like taking photos and engaging in all manner of motorsport and driving-related adventures. In the past few years these have included the Staples2Naples banger rally, getting my race licence and doing some actual racing, and most recently taking my road car over to the Belgian Grand Prix circuit at Spa for a trackday.

I'm clearly in good company at DAM with our many motorsport-related clients and promotions, not to mention the DAM Racing Porsche 944 of which I've behind the wheel in 2010, racing in the CSCC Future Classics series.

I joined the company at the start of 2010 and have enjoyed every minute of the fine work we produce and the fun we have in doing it!

Previously, I have over ten years commercial experience in web and other communication media, having worked for some high profile companies such as architect companies Alsop and Richard Rogers Partnership, sports companies Wisden Online and Sky Sports, BBC Worldwide, Halfords and Pendragon.

I manage the digital projects and it’s my job to make sure our talented developers produce the web or app functionality you want, ensuring it works as it should.

I'm also here to help you work out your digital marketing strategy, using my experience to best help your needs.

I'm always excited about making all of our digital services even better so let us know if there's something you want that you think we should offer as part of our one-stop shop digital agency!

I’m the new girl, having recently joined DAM to head up the marketing communications arm of the business. I’ve worked with Grant and his team for many years, mainly as their client so there’s no greater endorsement than joining them at this exciting stage of the company’s growth! My experience spans marketing, PR, internal communications and sponsorship working both in-house at top FTSE companies and leading international agencies.

My passion is working in partnership with clients to really understand their business challenges and then coming up with truly creative campaigns. Whether it’s about generating column inches in the national press or helping businesses develop their communications strategy, the most important thing is to deliver on targets in the most cost-effective way. DAM is a truly integrated agency with a really fresh approach to communications solutions.

Over the last few years I’ve had intense involvement in motorsport through heading up a British Touring Car team and also working in partnership with British Cycling as a sponsor of their most successful ever Olympic team. In my spare time I’m a bit of a property developer and like nothing better than getting stuck in to building houses although I draw the line at mixing cement!

My husband David got me invoved with DAM. Having said that, I had to get back to work after having 5 years off!... looking after the children.

Really enjoyed getting back into it over the last few months, although the role is somewhat smaller than my last one - Financial Controller of National Express.

Grant and David tell me to watch this space!
