Bio
Darren Evans
I have worked with Anthony for the past 5 years since recruiting him into a digital development role within the marketing department at Harding and in various capacities since then and have seen him develop a really strong understanding and capability of Digital Marketing in all its forms. Anthony has delivered some notable Visual outputs for Harding including a rebranding/ brand awareness piece for Harding which totally changed the way in which partner brands and clients viewed the business and won acclaim throughout the business and with our partners, and more recently Anthony has digitalised all of Harding's recent in store retail campaigns, experiential initiatives and 'Pop Up' collaborations into a visual montage. Not just forward thinking and commercially minded, Anthony is also proficient in eCommerce and Multi-Channel Digital Campaigns, and builds strong collaborative partnerships with clients and brands to ensure the end result is delivered to a high standard and often more ambitious than the original plan. A solid and reliable employee and an asset to any business.

During my time working with Anthony I have found him to be a strong team player who's creative flare has added tangle value to the Yankee candle brand within the UK and Europe. Anthony has shown to be reliable and consistently completes projects to clear time frame and budgetary constraints. I would have no hesitation to recommend Anthony as he has been a valued member of the Yankee candle international team.
