Well hello there

Andy Bamford

I hate writing bios. I started an employer marketing agency in Bristol, many years ago, with the help of a few friends. Over the years we got a bit better at what we did until we woke up one morning and we were the largest independently owned agency in our sector. We sold that business in 2015, and I stayed on as Chief Executive for 3 years – before leaving to put my feet up. That didn’t last long, as I was getting a bit bored and I was really excited by the prospect of working again.

I’ve got quite a few grey hairs, lots of stories and a view on where our market’s going, which I’d be more than happy to share over lunch, dinner or just a chat. Whatever takes your fancy.

Sandy Vossos

Having worked in brand, marketing and communications agencies in Bristol and London for over 25 years (I don’t look that old, you say? Why, thank you)…I’ve been lucky enough to get close to some great brands and forward-thinking organisations. Ones who are on transformational journeys, like AXA (globally) and Inspired Villages (a little closer to home). Right now, I’m excited by what the future holds. The world of work is changing dramatically, and I’m really looking forward to being part of it.

Adam Lane

I’ve been working in marketing and communications for over ten years. It all started because of a hole in one…isn’t it strange how these things come about? Since then I’ve worked with clients across a variety of sectors. I’ve been lucky enough to work with AXA to reposition them as an employer in the UK and more recently, I’ve worked with some fantastic people at LV= to creatively articulate their employer brand. Working with passionate people on interesting and challenging briefs is what drives me. That, good coffee and the odd glass of wine (not together, obvs).

Charlotte Evans

Hello, I’m Charlotte – Chief Office Brownie Maker, oh, and Client Partner here at BrandPointZero. I started my career riding rollercoasters. And what a (metaphorical) rollercoaster it’s been. Eight years on, I’ve delivered projects (and results) for big brands such as LEGOLAND, Shell, Virgin Media and Hyundai.

It all starts with a good brief and a good spreadsheet. If you’ve not got a brief but do have a goal, that’s okay too  – we’ll get through it together.

Megan Baldwin

Hi, I’m Meg and I’ve worked for agencies and specialised in internal comms for the past few years. I’ve been lucky enough to work with and learn from some extremely talented, lovely people along the way. You can think of me as a safe pair of hands when it comes to managing projects (or a bossy control freak), but I’m passionate about making trusted and strong relationships with my clients and colleagues alike and that’s what makes my job so enjoyable.

When I’m not managing projects, you’ll find me on a beach or up a mountain. Failing that, you’ll find me in the pub or on a dance floor, feel free to reach out!

Heidi Stephens

I’ve been working in marketing for over 20 years, as both a senior strategist and a copywriter. Over the years I’ve worked on everything from sex toys and saucepans to cars and cruise ships*.

I’m really good at picking apart client briefs to find the insight and the opportunity that spark great creative thinking, then writing the words that inspire meaningful connections between brands and their employees. It’s a great job made considerably easier by the support of a brilliant team, and our clients aren’t bad either.

*Just to be clear, I’ve worked on cruise ship marketing and employee engagement, I’ve never actually worked on a cruise ship. Maybe one day.

Angie Holden

Angie has been making the numbers add up for businesses large and small for most of her career. She’s here to keep us all on the straight and narrow. She’ll look after everything to do with finance, including making sure we get paid…and that we pay others on time too.

When she’s not tapping away on her calculator, she’s a mum of four, who all keep her on her toes and she manages her very own big house in the country…it’s a Blur song reference for those of you younger than 30.

Nic Freeman

5* Would purchase again.

Nic is a good laugh, writes waaaay too much copy and comes up with a crazy amount of ideas but she’s won loads of awards so I guess she’s good at what she does. Wears clothes that aren’t right for her age. Anonymous

Mark Beavan

Mark has over 18 years’ experience working with clients on how technology and the web can help them attract, engage and retain the best talent. And he is still going strong. He’s worked with some high-profile employers, delivered some award-winning projects, met some great people and had a lot of fun along the way. That Little Agency is his baby, and it’s quickly growing into a pretty little toddler. Oh, and he has a dog. It’s always on bloody LinkedIn. It’s probably more recognisable than he is.
