An unusual agency, and some extraordinary people
Jack Howell
Account Manager
Channeling his knack for coordinating campaigns, Jack has managed to corral creatives and account handlers into AML’s five-a-side team. When he’s not commanding the football pitch, he’s salivating over plans for his next culinary escapade.Dan Anderson
Head of Delivery
A highly experienced, cross-discipline project director, Dan is the man when it comes to making sure AML delivers. He enjoys 10k runs along the Brighton seafront, as well as pilgrimages up and down the country to watch his beloved Brighton and Hove Albion. Dan also likes to cook pig’s head with langostines. It is, he assures us, delicious.
Stephen O'Neill
Art Director
An award-winning, all-round creative type, Stephen once played for St. Mirren and now runs a website dedicated to vernacular typography. He is yet to launch a sister site celebrating his taste for bridies.Matt Kebbell
Video Production
Said not to have smiled since the summer of ’69, Matt is a regular winner of AML’s Mr Happy Award. But as he’d be the first to point out, who needs smiles when your video content is second to none?Ian Henderson
CEO
Endlessly fascinated by business, brands and human behaviour, Ian brings extensive experience to his role as creative director, strategist, writer and agency head. His varied interests also include bikes and boats, but they’ve both proven tricky to enjoy inside the agency – so far.Mat Carpenter
Visualiser/Artworker
In his time before AML, Mat worked in high-end fashion and the publishing world - enhancing images for some of the world’s most prestigious brands. Outside work, Mat’s an F1 obsessive, though as he says, “I’ll watch anything if it’s on a race track”. The high-octane thrills aren’t confined to the trackside however; snowboarding season will find him performing ‘Canadian Bacons’, ‘Cross-rockets’, and ‘Super-Mindys’ wherever the powder is freshest.Lucy Rogers
Senior Account Director
Lucy has seen it all in client services and prides herself on being truly unflappable – an invaluable trait among AML’s account handlers. Two things she’s sure to lose her cool around though are her twin loves of food and dogs. Throw in a beach and she’s pretty much in heaven.
Chris Walker
Head of Art
Award-winning Art Director and former UK Jitterbug Champion, Chris pairs a heavyweight creative mind with some seriously fancy footwork. Always has an ear out for live bluegrass too, should you know anywhere good.Merope Beddard
Client Services Director
With over fifteen years’ agency experience, Merope heads up the account handling team at AML. When she’s not busy building brands, nurturing client relationships or listening to Radio 6, you’ll find her sprinting down the streets of Clerkenwell (she’s an active member of AML’s running club).Ross Garden
Creative Director
After astonishing adventures such as traveling around the world nine times, flying solo in a homemade aircraft and working in a Victorian lunatic asylum, no challenge is too big for Ross. And when it comes to creative challenges, he’s been dealing with those brilliantly since 1992. Award-winning art director and creative director, if in a tight spot he can always rely on his fire-breathing skills to get some extra wows.David Walton
Business Director
Account man, footballer and drummer, David’s interests are as diverse as the brands he’s worked on. With nearly two decades of agency experience, he’s seen it all in adland. Oh, and he’s also a DIY enthusiast with a tool shed that’s ‘equipped to handle anything’.Sarah Nunneley
Strategist
Sarah came to us straight from university where she graduated with a degree in psychology. Her thesis looked at how the way we think about the future affects our decision making - perfect preparation for her strategic role at AML. Sarah is also chief wrangler to Jellybean, her Toy Cavapoo, who’s just one of our canine staff members. Outside the office she is a devoted aficionado of Musical Theatre and dog walks.Laurence Nash
Senior Back End Developer
Laurence lives in Brighton, which is close to the sea. Has also learnt to love commuting...Rowena Turrell
Management Accountant
Rowena has brought over twenty years’ experience in the industry to AML and is just as excited by putting in new processes as she is keeping the numbers in check: ‘There’s never been a dull moment’ she asserts. When not deep in forests of figures, Rowena loves nothing more than getting out to the theatre, the ballet, the opera or a gig - with ‘a spot of yoga or a gong bath’ thrown in to ensure that she maintains her equilibrium and keeps those pesky numbers thoroughly crunched.Annabelle Meddows-Taylor
Senior Account Manager
Having recently moved to London from Sydney, Annie brings her talent for building big brands to AML. She enjoys travelling, listening to podcasts and is a proper foodie and ‘drinkie’ (Aussie for ‘pub-crawler’?).Christian Barnes
Strategy Director
Christian heads up the AML strategy team and has over 35 years’ experience of working with clients from household automotive and FMCG brands such as P&G, Cadbury and Perrier - to financial, educational, charitable, chartered and legal organisations. Outside work, Christian intends to ski and sail as long as his knees and his bank manager support him - but is more often to be found watching rugby, ballet, film or theatre - or, indeed, the foam atop a hoppy IPA.
