Design management team

We pride ourselves on providing a high level of responsiveness, service and commitment. Unlike many agencies we don’t use account handlers to act as middlemen, and you can be certain that we never pass work down to juniors or freelancers

Prior to forming Cogent Design in 2000 Chris held senior positions in large London design agencies;

• Conran Advertising (art director) .
• Allied International Designers ( snr designer),
• McColl - now part of WPP (snr. associate)
• Campbell Hellowell Duncan ( director)
• Nettec plc (creative director)

Major projects for those agencies included:

• Arcadia
• British Council
• House of Fraser
• Mothercare
• Scottish Tourist Board
• Motorola.

Chris also has five years in-house design experience for Clarkes Shoes (Ravel) where he gained an appreciation of the client side of the client/supplier relationship.

His retail experience taught him the necessity of very clear, simple and targeted communications within a B2B context.          

Nigel also previously held senior positions in leading London agencies and is responsible for conjuring up the creative spark to ignite each project.

Panos holds an MA in Visual Communication and came through the ranks at Cogent to become an invaluable asset in designing and delivering faultless output using a variety of sophisticated technologies including web, animation, video, presentations and print.
