The Superyacht Art Agency

• Book and Periodical Publishing

• Creative Director

  • Nov 2005 - Sep 2011

  Created SYAA with chairman and owner, Martin Redmayne. I was responsible for the set up and generation of revenue for the agency and picture library from it’s conception. Although I was initially designing and developing new business, I rapidly drove the growth of the agency by developing solid relationships with key clients within the industry, which has necessitated in the hiring and management of a department of six staff; two project managers, two designers, one sales person (publication selling) and the picture editor/manager. Myself and my team have consistently delivered high quality, bespoke projects on time and usually within budget, depending on the nature of project (and client), and have consistently exceeded annual targets year on year. I work closely with the other department heads in the group, maintaining continuity by ensuring a high level of communication and reinforcing the company culture. Show less
