Head of Marketing
Strategy, ideas and overall plotting
Deep inside Quirky HQ is the Persona Storage Division: twenty carefully labelled pods, each containing a different side of founder Kieron Rose. When a project arrives, the appropriate specialist is brought out of stasis — perhaps the strategist, writer, designer, animator, web creator, filmmaker or slightly overenthusiastic inventor — and put to work turning the client’s idea into something clear, distinctive and memorable.
Between them, the pod residents allow Quirky to help with marketing, branding, websites, graphics, content, video, animation, software and interactive projects, while Kieron remains your main point of contact throughout. Trusted creative and technical collaborators are also ready to step in whenever extra capacity or specialist expertise is needed. They were offered their own pods, but declined long-term storage and prefer to arrive under their own power.
You deal directly with the person shaping the idea, while additional creative and technical expertise can be brought in whenever the project needs it. The result is personal, flexible and properly scalable.
Quirky Marketing helps businesses explain themselves clearly, look distinctive and create projects people genuinely notice. That might mean a campaign, website, video, animation, brand, app, printed piece, interactive experience or a combination designed around a particular objective.
I lead the thinking and remain closely involved throughout, so the message, visuals and practical delivery stay connected. When specialist development, production or extra capacity is needed, trusted collaborators join the project without creating a maze of departments for you to navigate.
The pods are therefore not a claim that I perform every task alone. They are a deliberately over-engineered way of showing versatility: one creative lead able to think across many disciplines, supported by the right people when the project calls for them.
The twenty pods represent the different roles and disciplines I draw upon. Select one to explore that side of Quirky’s work; real collaborators remain safely unpodified and join projects whenever additional expertise is needed.
