Team

Our team brings an exceptionally wide range of full-service marketing communications experience. But more than this, this team has passion. We’re passionate about what we do, the client accounts we work on and, above all else, about delivering results. Doing a great job is what makes us sleep at night.

Sue Bown | director

Sue is a real strategic thinker, able to quickly find out what our clients need, then develop the right, individually-tailored strategy for them. With more than six years’ experience at a London-based consultancy before joining Severn in 2004, Sue brings a great mix of marketing, communications and PR expertise, together with a flair for spotting great ideas. Pragmatic and practical too – if she’s backing a big idea, you can guarantee it will be well thought through and wholly measurable!

Kieran Fitzpatrick | creative director

Dangerously talented and with a natural flair for developing and managing brands, Kieran has fantastic ideas flowing through his veins. During his ten years at Severn he has created hugely successful campaigns spanning online, press, radio, TV, door to door, direct mail and packaging design. Equally at home with b2b as b2c, his strategic approach and unswerving ability to see things from new perspectives have resulted in unique, effective and award-winning creative solutions.

Paul Cox | finance director

Paul has been with Severn for 14 years and keeps a tight rein on the finances, IT and day to day business management here at Severn.

Hannah Wylde | associate account director

With some 15 years’ industry experience, Hannah has held a range of high-profile in-house marketing roles, giving her exceptional insight when it comes to working out what our clients want. Hannah joined Severn more than ten years ago with the brief to create the agency’s PR division. A consummate professional and active CIPR member Hannah has created and implemented a range of integrated PR and marketing communications strategies across a remarkably diverse range of sectors.

Brian Tallis | media planning & production management

Brian Tallis has more than 20 years experience in helping our clients research, plan and buy cost-effective, stand-out media solutions. A key factor in the agency’s success Brian’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the UK media landscape is second to none and he guides our clients through the complexities of the media, continually driving efficiencies to maximise their spending power. In addition, Brian also plays a crucial role in our production function and is responsible for estimating, costing and tracking campaigns through the production system to fulfillment.

Lindsay Kendrick | account manager

A former journalist with a keen eye for a good story and in-depth understanding of how the media works, Lindsay is the woman to turn to when it comes to managing your media relationships. Her love of writing and talent for spotting a great coverage opportunity means she is completely at home communicating any message to any audience.

Liane Heath | account executive

Amazingly organised and happiest when juggling multiple projects, Liane’s calm, organised and totally rational approach pays dividends when it comes to tight deadlines whilst her incredible aptitude for all things digital comes in pretty handy too. She’s at the cutting edge too, and always on hand with those truly great ideas, just when you need them.

Andrew Warner | creative associate

Andrew’s extensive creative experience, and years of practice, makes him one of the safest pair of hands in the business. You can rely on him time and time again to come up with the goods and craft timely, effective, accurate and on-message copy, time and time again.

Sandy Bradley | creative associate

An experienced professional skilled in all aspects of the creative process, both as an art director and copywriter, including strategic and conceptual thinking, Sandy has a natural ability to combine these disciplines into the integrated marketing mix. With former experience as creative director, Sandy has worked on many consumer and leisure brands in both b2b and b2c and her unique approach to every challenge has won respect from colleagues and clients alike in the six years she has worked with the team at Severn.

Nicky Colley | production assistant

Nicky joined Severn straight from University and has been with the company for 17 years, during which she has become a real ‘all rounder’. However she has now found her niche in a production role, administering the production system and ensuring that jobs run smoothly, and that all copy dates are fulfilled.
