About Gasp

A breath of fresh air… Gasp is a young creative agency with a rich and colourful heritage dating back to somewhere in the middle of 1987 when one of our directors first dipped a toe in the deep undercurrents of marketing. It was not until 2009 that Gasp popped up to say “hello” and our little agency has blossomed ever since.

To call us a marketing agency wouldn’t do us justice; we prefer to think of ourselves as an ideas agency providing marketing solutions. Great ideas work wherever you put them, and we put them everywhere. To be specific, we design, advertise, illustrate, animate, campaign, do digital, print, email, social media, events and exhibitions, build mobile apps, online games, create identities, construct websites, deconstruct research and if we can’t do it then we know someone who can. Our clients are as diverse as our services.

Charlie Brown

CHARLIE
Account Manager
A ray of sunshine in our office and a very talented one at that. The directors of Gasp and Charlie Brown go way back, back to embarrassing haircuts and homework, and having worked in partnership for many years, have now joined forces. As well as being an extremely efficient account manager, Charlie also runs her own successful photography business and pops up all over the country at both corporate and social events. At Gasp she is the office glue, no problem too big, no job too small, no object that can’t be tripped over.

George Thompson

GEORGE
Designer
George recently finished art college with distinctions and started chasing (aka pestering) Gasp for a job having previously worked with a small design agency for just over a year. On what he lacks with experience he makes up for with a natural gift for design. A perfectionist through and through, George designs to a consistently high standard. A fast learner who loves a creative challenge, George has a passion for new technology and is a whiz on Illustrator. Being able to work as a designer has been a dream for George, something that he hopes he can continue to do whilst gaining experience to further and better himself as a creative.
