People
Here at MG, we’re proud to stand on the shoulders of giants. Whether they’re design titans, digital heavyweights or cultural goliaths, we’ve all been influenced by others to dream big and produce the best work for our clients. No two of us are alike, but there’s real strength in our differences – our varied experiences and imaginations are what make us thrive. Take a look at our gallery of giants and who inspires us on a daily basis.
If you’re wondering about our job titles, they’re inspired by the stories we love to tell. Our Dream Weavers and Magic Makers, as project managers and client services, are regularly pulling rabbits out of hats for our clients, whilst our Dreamers and Magicians design beautiful work to meet all of our client needs. Got a question about us and life as part of the MG community? Drop us a message to find out more about what we all get up to each day.

J of all trades“Jeffrey Wilsden survived a Japanese POW camp in WW2, but never gave up his positive outlook on life. His philosophy was always that a small kindness can make a giant difference to someone’s life, something we should all remember.”

Dreamer“Alan Fletcher’s vast body of work and legacy of the D&AD is testament alone to one of the UK’s greatest designers. To me, his book ‘The Art of Looking Sideways’ is visual communication at its best.”

Founding Giant“Milton Glaser was a giant in the design world, because he wasn’t constrained by the title graphic designer. ‘To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.'”

Magic Maker“Nick Park has created some iconic characters, like Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. His use of stop motion animation is rare these days, but that’s part of what makes his work so special.”
