Jon Samuels — Head of Creative & Brand, London
The work

For the past seven years I've led creative direction across Find Me A Gift, Activity Superstore, The Gift Experience, Indytute, Guess What I Did! and Uniquely Local — working across brand, ecommerce, CRM, packaging and customer experience.

When I joined, the business was predominantly retail-led. Today it's a digitally-led ecommerce group operating across six brands, each with its own audience, proposition and customer journey. During that time the business shifted from 70% physical retail to 70% digital. My role is to lead the creative expression of those brands and ensure they remain clear, distinctive and commercially effective.

I don't separate brand, UX and marketing. From a customer's perspective they're all part of the same experience, and the most effective work happens when those disciplines work together.
