Say Hello to the OCOCO Team - Meet Jake

Jake Kirton

Head of Graphic Design OCOCO Media

I’m super enthusiastic about good design, and as part of the OCOCO team I get to work on all kinds of interesting and engaging projects in a wide variety of sectors. I support clients with almost all of their visual design needs - from brand identity to accompanying graphics for social media campaigns, it’s my job to make sure everything looks good and achieves its purpose.

Best business book… Steal Like An Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by Austin Kleon - a super easy, fun read, full of useful advice and practical tips on finding inspiration and putting it to good use.

Top digital marketing tip… In terms of visual design, I’d always suggest keeping things simple, and that can translate to most areas of marketing. Try to figure out what your one key message is, that’s a great starting point. Once you know what you want to say you can start to figure out the best way of saying it - and that’s where the fun is!

Favourite social media marketing tool… Adobe Creative Cloud. It might be cheating slightly to pick this one as it covers all of the Adobe programs, but between Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator I just can’t pick one. Whatever you need to create, there’s a program for it here!

Ultimate 2pm on Friday soundtrack song… Mr Brightside by The Killers. It’s overplayed for a reason, there’s nothing it won’t get you through.

Favourite office snack… Definitely a Twix, it’s got everything - and you get two of them.

Most inspiring quote… “I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.” - Saul Bass

Best thing about your job… I really like the challenge of creativity. Whether it’s finding ways to fully bring a client’s vision to life or starting with a totally blank piece of paper, the process of exploring ideas and finding the best solutions is always a rewarding experience.
