Bio
Kelly Kenyon-Brown
Working with Toby and the team at Covert was seamless. They met our (slightly obscure) needs with ease, and no ask was too big. The work was both efficient and on brief. You can't ask for much more!
Jack Simcock
Toby and his team consistently delivered design work to a wide variety of briefs that made a direct contribution to new business wins and client growth at my agency. Despite pressing deadlines Toby goes the extra mile to deliver first class results. I would not hesitate in recommending Covert to anyone.
Johnnie Campbell
I really can't recommend Toby and the guys at Imaginative Cows enough. We came to them with (what we thought was) an wildly ambitious brief, and a short time-frame for delivery. They produced a site for us that was way above our expectations, and they worked tirelessly to get it to us on time. Toby has been hugely supportive with us since the site has gone live too, which is very refreshing. Ten golden stars from Last Village.

I’m co-founder of We Are Covert - Motion design and VFX studio. We work with brands, agencies, studios & productions houses in creating amazing creative things. We’re a motley crew of creatives, artists & producers who after years of freelance gigs, took the leap to set up a shop that would disrupt the post-production industry for the better, whilst making some seriously cool shit. We had this pretty nifty idea to all work from our own homes (A premonition?!). So, we ditched the… Show more I’m co-founder of We Are Covert - Motion design and VFX studio.

We’re a motley crew of creatives, artists & producers who after years of freelance gigs, took the leap to set up a shop that would disrupt the post-production industry for the better, whilst making some seriously cool shit. We had this pretty nifty idea to all work from our own homes (A premonition?!). So, we ditched the long arsed commutes, pricey office and the rat race and traded it for home offices, more time with family and investment in great people. Turns out when you’re not paying through the nose for an office, you can spend that on bringing in some top-notch, talented individuals from just about anywhere. 5 years into this adventure and we've found ourselves surrounded by some of the most talented and brilliant people around. Connected by a robust remote pipeline, our shared ethos has never been stronger. Make great work, with no faff. Show less I’m co-founder of We Are Covert - Motion design and VFX studio.
