Time to Learn

Hello my name is Declan Tate and I am currently on a work experience placement at Happy Creative. My interest in graphics started in Year 7 at my secondary school and was amazed at some of the roads graphics can lead to. When Year 10 was approaching, I was given my options sheet for my GCSE’s. I saw graphics on the available slots and picked it instantly, along with media, French and ICT.

I have just finished Year 10 and I am half way through my graphics GCSE project which is, (to my enjoyment) Peter Pan movie marketing. This involves me designing and creating posters, point of sale stands, cinema tickets, and a smart material piece of merchandise. I must admit picking graphics was one of the best decisions I have made and has made me much happier at school.

I love graphics as it is much more fun than a maths lesson and is something I am really interested in. In graphics there is much more to do and create than in a normal, boring lesson. In the future I hope to obtain all of my GCSE grades and progress on to college. My dream job would be to design merchandise for a movie or a company, which is the reason why I also picked media studies and French for GCSE.

This week at Happy Creative I have been given lots of small projects to do. One of which was to design a logo, cd cover, tour poster and clothing for my friend’s band. The other project was for me to learn how to use illustrator, so that I could trace my favourite comic book heroes and also make a movie poster for The Dark Knight Rises. I have really enjoyed working on these projects as they revolve around the things that make me happy and that is what Happy Creative is all about.

After 5 days at Happy Creative, I can say that I have learnt so many new skills and techniques that I did not have before. I am so glad that I got the chance to work at Happy Creative for my work experience because the activities are fun, the atmosphere is always filled with jokes (*cough* mike) and the people are always friendly.

Declan Tate has just completed his work placement at Happy Creative. He is 15 years old, happy and is very creative indeed. Good start, Declan!

Social Media

All the tweets and posts in the world won’t help generate leads unless there’s some strategic thinking behind what you’re doing.

We’ll help define the right social media strategy for you, so that you’re on the right platforms, saying the right things to the right people at the right time to generate the right leads.

Design & Brand Building

Marketing is bit like those huge, swirling flocks of starlings you see from time to time. Individually your brochure, email, ad, meme or gif may not change the world.

But when you join them together and ensure they’re all heading in the same direction, you have the power to stop people in their tracks.

We design communications that help build a consistent brand and convert more leads to sales.

Websites

Your website can generate leads in so many ways. Informed content. Strong calls to action. A simple, natural journey from ‘Hi there!’ to ‘Buy now’.

Yet websites are never ‘done’. They need to keep evolving to keep pace with your customers’ expectations, so we’ll be with you for the long haul to keep tweaking, refining and growing your site – and to deliver the PPC campaigns that help drive traffic towards it.

Because when your website keeps working to understand and speak to your audience, you’ve got more chance of converting.

PR & Content

There’s a knack to ensuring your business is seen in the right places at the right time. We’ll build your PR profile across the mix of channels that’s right for you (from press to social media to events) and use our contacts to spread the word.

So when your customers are ready to buy, it’ll be your brand they think of first.
