Aggregate performance increase YoY post brand identity update

Founded in May 2000 as Britain’s leading history publication. Today BBC History includes a family of 3 brands promoting expert insights into history across enthusiasts and academics.They needed to establish a brand identity that would work across the existing print magazines and their newer app and website. This identity needed to incorporate varied art styles from across history.Our aim was to create something that was engaging and playful. And would allow us to create a sense of joy while tying together various historical eras.

I managed Marcus at Immediate Media from 2021-2022. Marcus is a talented creative, who developed brand identities and persuasive marketing visuals transforming the print experience into engaging digital solutions. He also helped me refine the briefing and design processes to improve turnaround and quality. He is a brilliant communicator and was able to convince traditional print marketers to refresh their brand for digital channels generating increased engagement and acquisition. I'd recommend him for any team.
