ABOUT:
Lewis Beaton and Claire Watson grew up in the same small Yorkshire town and met aged 16 at the local college there. Despite coming from rival high schools, it was there they formed a friendship and interrogated the fundamentals of design methodology (cutting and sticking/life drawing locals in need of a few extra quid at the end of the month).
At this point neither Lewis or Claire had ever tasted seafood but they both knew, that with a BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design, the world was their oyster.
And here they are many years later, reunited as a creative team, both now with over 15 year’s experience. Claire has held permanent roles at 4creative and Leith while Lewis spent around 8 years at Leo Burnett and PG-ONE. With backgrounds spanning both broadcast and agencies we have a unique skill set to bring to briefs. Working across everything from digital experiences and social to print and TV, we have a passion for making work that is challenging and memorable. Together for four years now, our freelance experience includes seven months at AnalogFolk as well as time at BBH, AMV BBDO, Joint, VaynerMedia, M&C Saatchi, Ogilvy, Big Small, Orange Panther Collective and ITV Creative.
WHAT THEY SAY:
“Claire and Lewis were with us at AnalogFolk for around seven months during which time they helped us deliver award winning work and build important relationships on one of the agency's biggest creative accounts. Apart from being brilliantly creative and proactive, they're also one of the most thoroughly down to earth and ego-free teams you're likely to meet. The downside however, is due to both being Northerners they get through cups of tea at an unbelievable rate, but if you could look beyond that you've got a team I can confidently say will deliver you brilliant thinking.”
Daniel Noller, Creative Director at Analogfolk
