Noel in a few words
Crafting authentic, meaningful connections between brands and their customers for over 15 years. I’m an award-winning, results-driven, 360-degree storyteller and in-house creative leader. I am a dual national (United Kingdom and USA) currently working from the south cost of England.
  • In 2006 I began working for Dell Computers. This was a pioneering internal creative role to help bring Dell’s massive online presence up-to-date with thoughtful customer-centric UX design. Dell.com and the Dell brand needed a face lift and an identity realignment. I contributed substantially to moving the massive global brand in a positive and focused direction. When I left Dell as creative director of the in-house Dell Blue team, I was managing 18 creatives, overseeing large parts of the global consumer marketing output and partnering with a wide range of external creative resources and partners.
  • My recent role as Head of Brand at Belfast-based Artemis Technologies allowed me to further my interest and experience in green technology. Artemis is the leading provider of 100% electric foiling workboats and public transport vessels. I developed their brand identity, their brand and facilities guidelines and supported product launch campaigns and global event marketing efforts.

Noel has managed the creative direction on a wide range of marketing campaigns (such as product launch assets) and key initiatives (such as development of guidelines and branding of corporate offices and production centers) for our company. His ability to capture input from all stakeholders asking precise questions has been instrumental in the efficient definition of the most suitable approach and in the creation of an impactful design. He has shown an incredible professionalism and expertise in managing both vendors and internal creative resources, always keeping in mind the achievement of our global business objectives. I recommend Noel to all companies who need to bring to life impactful campaigns.
