About Me
Aspect has a creative heart. From our inception 20 years ago, strong graphics have led every piece of work. We have expanded and diversified but the creative content of every piece is fundamental to who we are. Our designs are usually complemented by our words – from company straplines to entire websites, we deliver a consistent and compelling message for our clients.
We don’t want to scare you off with the thought of a room full of creatives either brainstorming or in some sort of artistic angst. Aspect is b2b – we understand business, recognise the bottom line when we see it and we are all about delivering profitability through brand investment. We have a collective commercial mind and we know how to use it.
The first person most people meet is Jonathan Rayfield. He’s the boss, the front man and he has an amazing strategic mind when it comes to all things promotional. While he may bring in the projects, the real work, we like to think, is done by the creative team – the designers & the copywriters. We take the brief, do the research and come up with outstanding ideas. We are in-house so we can pool our thoughts and create concepts that flow. We are all involved in client meetings and the developing process of delivery the project. Our web developers know that for us, the design is not negotiable – they work with us to deliver what we intended, colours, fonts, navigation – not a template in sight. Integral to this is our Operations Manager, Liz Beesley, who appears to see and know everything. She will get the job in on time and she will watch your budget.
In the past, we have often described ourselves as part of our clients’ marketing departments – integrated completely into their day-to-day business activity. Marketing departments are a dying breed and we find more and more that we are dealing with CEO’s & MD’s, which also suits us fine. These are busy people, so we try and develop several contacts throughout the company who can answer questions in order to keep a project moving. All of our clients love to visit us here in Harrogate – we do great coffee, nice biscuits and we don’t rush – we want to hear want you want to tell us and bring that into reality.
More than one of our clients has commented on our ability to articulate their thoughts before they have mentioned them. We can only do this by building strong relationships. We are not motivated by pretention or prestige – we love what we do and we love to make you look good. That’s our passion.
