Bio
Andrew Larking
Working with an agency can sometimes be difficult. It doesn’t always work out. They don’t always take the necessary efforts to understand your needs. Working with Guy and Tall is nothing like that. They get under the skin of the project/product/thing you need them to work on. They take the time to understand the complexities and subtleties. They don’t pretend they know your business better than you. They don’t half deliver then make excuses. They hit deadlines, to budget, and always to high quality. Speaking about Guy specifically - he’s a solid, reliable, highly creative, strategic designer. He understands brand, motion, sound, digital, print, video etc. He’s all the boring bits (reliable, dependable) but not at the expense of a slightly rebellious can do attitude with sprinkles of creative wonder. In the last year he’s helped me deliver a brand identity, application of that identity, and multiple events and marketing pieces. He’s consulted on vision and strategy. He’s supporting us as we build our design system, and other things I’ve forgotten about. It’s been a blast.

Guy always delivers brilliant creative that get great results. An absolute pleasure to work with and somehow manages to bend the laws of space and time to get the most complicated of projects delivered on time. Great a working across different agencies/suppliers too - makes my job as a client very easy.
