I formed Darby & Co after working in four different top-ten global Advertising Agencies as an Art Director in London, Oslo and New York.

I thought there could be a need for top-tier expertise, but at a more affordable level.

Over the years Darby & Co has worked on Retail Banking and Investment Banking business as well as other Financial Services. We have also worked on Fast Moving Consumer Goods, High Tech, Low Tech, Charities, Health Care, Airlines, Pharmaceuticals, Magazines, Cosmetics and Drinks to name a few.

Along the way we have picked up some programming skills with FileMaker Pro and have created databases for the likes of Oxford University and the National Trust.

I'm also lecturing post-graduate students in Advertising, Marketing and Design at the London College of Communication/European Communication School where in 2014 and 2018, I was voted the best course lecturer in a student poll.

Over the years, Darby & Co has created award-winning TV and radio commercials, brochures, annual reports, logos, ads stationery, flyers and direct mail.

Clients have included The National Trust, the RSPB, English Heritage, Osram, Kodak, Diageo, National Geographic Magazine, Oxford Botanic Garden, Butler & Wilson, Classic Cars Magazine, BBC Haymarket Exhibitions, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Citigroup amongst many others.
