I don’t know what it is, perhaps the confused flow of the Medlock’s crystal clear waters, but our recruitment compass has swung a full 180 degrees these past few years. It used to be Yorkshire lads and lasses making the trans-Pennine trek towards Waulk Mill, but these days it seems like every man and his dog between Warrington and Liverpool wants to work for us. Anyway as one fully-fledged Scouser Dom McVeigh moves onto the Big Smoke another joins us in the shape of Steve ‘Sinbad’ Moon as Lead Digital Creative.

When he’s not confused about court injunctions regarding his favourite football team, Steve is a seasoned digital campaigner having worked at some of the region’s most highly regarded and purely digital agencies over the past few years. With extensive experience in digital design and video production Steve brings a whole new skillset to the Studio North offer.

Having started his career at the fledgling new media department (Magneto) of the then famous TCW right here in Manchester, Steve then developed his trade further via Elevator and Pavilion (now Amaze) before most recently working at Photolink. Exposed to working creatively with brands such as John Lewis, Odeon, Microsoft and Astra Zeneca we are already excited about some of his early creative output.

Finally, Steve likes to record the Jeremy Kyle show.

COMPETITION. You can win a second hand tape cassette copy of the ‘The Very Best of Cilla Black’ by guessing what Steve is doing with his left hand in ‘the best picture he could find’. I’d hate to see the worst.
