Simon Coles_Founder

In the last twenty years or so, I’ve led teams in a wide variety of leading marketing groups, including Bartle Bogle Hegarty, AKQA, OMD and Publicis Groupe. This full service experience gave me the will to make even better, simpler communications for brands, ones, which can truly cut through the complicated media landscape we are in. That’s why this company was born.

Luckily, I’ve partnered with many of those great brands in our work section but also and more importantly, with this team below. So, I know the power that our collaboration has had in changing perception, avoiding disruption and helping brands to sell more. I also love working with them, as they are true artisans of their craft.

So, why us? One critical benefit of working with S/C_ is that we have our own content studio in London. This ensures that our thinking is never far away from the actual work your customers will see. Our model allows for speed and agility, which in turn translates into high quality and cost effective communications for your brand.
