Creative Director

Andy Ward

Andy’s creative career started in London where straight from university he built a successful print and design studio working with the likes of Vodafone, Puma, Dove and Samsung. Thirsty for more integrated marcomms experience, he moved agency side as a pitch-winning senior creative strategist at Cheil, BMB and Coley-Porter-Bell for clients as diverse as Adidas, Avis, Bahlsen Biscuits, Freemans and Kawasaki.

Following a move to Brighton, Andy decided to co-found Library as a design-led marketing agency to provide a more bespoke client service. Andy can often be found fixed wheeling around town, running various half marathons or deep in some kind of cricketing/football mission with his two sons.

Social & Comms Director

Rebecca Wheeler

Rebecca’s story started in account management for London design agencies What If!, Design Bridge and Conran before heading client side as International Creative Manager for Laura Ashley. There she oversaw the creative marketing for over 15 franchise partner territories from Australia to Japan, before moving back to agency life as Art & Content Director for 24 Productions before co-launching Library.

Rebecca oversees the agency’s content production, sharing of content over social platforms and data-led consumer behaviour. She’s a dab hand at styling a shoot, a mean photographer and a restless hoarder of cookery books. When they aren’t deep in a mixing bowl, her hands are kept full with Olive, the agency’s resident cavapoo (barks a bit, total softie) and her two boys.

Strategy Director

Roland Glover

Roland’s 20 year career in integrated marketing saw him start off in consumer PR as a Director at consumer tech outfit Kazoo before founding and MDing London Experiential and social agency Neon which was acquired by ad agency BMB. After leaving BMB and a two year adventure living in Bali, Roland returned to the sunny south coast to join Library where he looks after client strategy, business development and organisational culture.

Roland also teaches Marketing Leadership at the University of Brighton and writes, “nearly” completing that elusive first novel. He can often be found hiking the Downs when his two young daughters aren’t insisting on tickle fights.

We lured Katie down from Manchester where she began her professional career as a Graphic Designer, having completed her degree at Manchester School of Art.Katie is a key part of our brilliant creative team, from generating ideas to the final outcome. She’s a fan of art direction and has a growing love for motion design, being the talent behind much of our animation work. Outside design Katie loves being by the sea, walking in the Downs and flicking through Interior Design books – not to mention a bit of tap dancing when she gets the chance!

Moving Image

Gavin Williams

Gavin works his magic behind the camera directing, producing and editing our filmed content. His love of film extends into all areas of a rather busy life which includes 4 kids (including twins, yup), a cockapoo called Scout and his favourite film-making toy, the (drum roll) phantom drone. Phantom Gav we call him.

Graphic Designer

Julia Sabo

Originally from Germany, Julia moved to Brighton 5 years ago and fell in love with the city.

With a background in film marketing (eOne and Sony Pictures), Julia decided to shift direction into graphic design and is now a key part of our growing studio team. Another keen foodie, Julia keep us up to date on the latest food trends when she’s not destroying a punchbag in the gym. Fists of steel.

Meg came down to Brighton for university and never left, picking up a Masters in Journalism and Media on her way, with a Distinction no less. Meg’s a key player on both our Marketing & PR account teams combining her love of veganism, copywriting, and cooking with a keen eye for what makes a great story. A self-confessed music snob, she’s an avid gig-goer and keeps a very careful watch on Alexa’s playlists in the studio.

Abi’s a key part of our fantastic design team.

A former teacher of graphic design, Abi is a big fan of typography and illustration often bringing her hand-drawn artistic flair to our work, as well as planning and styling shoots.

Debbie’s our expert wordsmith, her skills honed across a 20 year career in travel journalism which has taken her to the furthest-flung corners of the planet. Best place for a Negroni in Phnom Penh? Ask Debbie. Quietest beach in Australia? Got it. Best restaurant with a view in Vancouver? Easy.

At Library Debbie ruthlessly whips our creative copy into a lean and healthy shape, pulls together slick messaging and translates brand stories into compelling, consumer-friendly language.
