Bio
Nicole ter Horst
Steve joined the start up In House Agency at Three UK to support our creative services, putting in place resource management, workflow, and the briefing process. By collaborating with the agency teams, account managers and engaging with stakeholders, Steve soon became the go to person on all agency activity. As his line manager, we worked closely together on the strategic objectives, and the solutions that were needed to get the agency up and running. Steve presented business proposals for our real-time project management tool and 3D store walkthrough retail environment - he was also project manager for the setting up of our DAM. During this time, we created the new brand refresh for Three UK, producing POS and digital assets across the retail estate. Steve worked closely with all channels to ensure that every brief and request was completed on brand and on time for launch day. Steve has an excellent ‘can do’ attitude, his calm management style also brings confidence to the team, with his wealth of experience, in depth knowledge and an excellent skill set to accompany – I would highly recommend Steve.

Steve is a cool-headed, safe pair of hands. During the process of rebranding Three UK last year, he was instrumental in managing and trafficking the mammoth workload through our newly-formed in-house agency, which was tasked with updating over 3000 touchpoints across our retail estate, website and apps in under 12 weeks. He's been pivotal to progressing conversations around the implementation of a project management system and digital asset manager, too, proving he can bring digital nous to underpin more traditional studio management processes. A great colleague, seasoned in the ways of complex matrix organisations, I can wholeheartedly recommend Steve as an asset to your business.
