CREDENTIALS

WHO
AM
I?
Im not a Jack of all trades, I stick to design because that is my passion and what I
am good at but I work closely with other specialists in complimentary felds such as
copywriting, photography, PR, print, web development, SEO and social media, so
if your project requires anything I dont ofer myself, I can suggest the best person
for the job.
SO, WHY WOULD YOU WANT ME TO WORK FOR YOU?
I am not a big agency but I can provide all the services of one by outsourcing
to other specialists and I have my own freelancers who manage artwork giving
me the control over the initial design stages and achieving consistency across all
marketing,
I work from my home ofce so I have teeny tiny overheads meaning I dont have to
pass these costs on to my clients which makes me cost efective.
I have a broad knowledge of a whole host of industries and audiences and have
been working in this sector for nearly 15 years which has given me invaluable
experience to bring to the variety of clients I work with.
Last but not least, Im a friendly, straight talking person, brimming with creative
ideas and ready to let them loose to suit your business design needs.
WHAT NEXT?
Take a fick through my credentials and see what you think, my contact details are
at the back and if you have any questions, give me a shout!
I am Emily. I am a designer and art director. I live in Essex and have clients locally
and nationally, I even have a few international clients too.
Before branching out on my own, I worked for over 6 years at an award-winning
direct response agency where I was involved in re-branding, design, advertising, PR
and direct-response marketing for a variety of clients - from blue chip companies
to local charities.
You might have heard of some of the companies Ive undertaken work for in the
past - HBOS, BT, Daily Mail, PC World Business, RSPB, Dulux and Lakeland to name
but a few.
My other responsibilities have included organising and art directing photo shoots,
selecting photographers and models, print and art buying and presenting at client
meetings and pitches. When I started my own business in 2009 I began working
with SMEs, sole traders and local businesses and used the knowledge of working
with the blue chip companies, or the big boys as I like to call them, and applied that
thinking to my clients to ofer impactful creative solutions that appeal to their target
audience and will achieve outstanding results.
In education I have achieved a BA Hons in Visual Communication and a HND in
Advertising and am fully conversant in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator,
but it doesnt stop there, I feel that to keep design fresh and exciting you have to
immerse yourself in anything and everything design related, so if you see me taking
photos on my phone of something random or reading a book about layout design
you might just see that infuence in my next project!

WHAT
I CAN
DO
WEB DESIGN If youre not on the world wide web - you should be! A website is
your shop front. There is a massive market out there and with the right site design
and build youll be ready for business. I design bespoke websites as well as using
templates dependant on what your companies needs are, and use my tried, tested
and trusted web developers to make sure the site works efectively and efciently
for you and caters to all your needs. And if you need an online banner an email
signature or email marketing campaign, I can design those too.
Things that I use specialists in their felds are:
PHOTOGRAPHY & IMAGES I use a number of photographers for diferent jobs
whether its product shots, people, on location so that you are getting the right
person for your project. I also source stock photography myself and have an
Illustrator who can create bespoke artwork for you. If you require video I can also
put you in touch with people to create anything from a small soundbyte to a full
corporate video.
ONLINE & SEO This is a huge area of expertise that ranges from social media,
Google Adwords and online campaigns, SEO (search engine optimisation), Google
Analytics reports - the list goes on. With Googles complex algorithms changing
constantly you need someone that is keeping up with the latest news and trends in
these areas. My colleagues can help you out in all these areas.
COPYWRITING & PR Getting the right message to the right people is key in these
areas, my colleagues will help you target your audience with words, headlines and
press releases that tell them what you need them to hear.
I work with my clients to design business marketing materials that solve problems
and promote the right idea to the correct audience.
The areas I specialise in are:
BRAND, LOGO DESIGN AND CORPORATE IDENTITY This is the key to your business,
its the frst thing people see, its what they judge you on and its something that
will stay with you for the lifetime of your business. If you want to make a good
impression, you need to have your identity and brand guidelines in place so that all
your marketing is consistent.
DIRECT MARKETING Stuf that comes through your door, junk mail - call it what you
want but it works! A direct marketing campaign can be targeted to your audience
and get phenomenal results if you know how to do it. With my experience in Direct
Marketing I can certainly show you the ropes.
ADVERTISING & MARKETING Adverts, brochures, newsletters, leafets, exhibition
material, vehicle livery... marketing your business can come in diferent shapes and
sizes and can be used in many ways. The main thing to remember is that it has to
be relevant to your audience and get your message across in a clear and concise
manner. Let me advise you on what would suit your business best.
CATALOGUE & MAIL ORDER Selling something of the page - now theres a
challenge. You are selling products or services that rely on the copy and the images
alone to sell. So you have to make it compelling, you have to stop that person in
their tracks in about 2 seconds, I can show you how its done.
WHAT
PEOPLE
SAY
I have used Emily as both a knowledge resource and a design professional, and
have always found her to produce superb work. She grasps the concepts I have
and translates them into hard-copy ideas that communicate simply and strongly;
not only that but she works to my ever-challenging time-scales without question
and ALWAYS does what she says she will do, when she says she will do it, often
delivering early. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Emily and
all aspects of her portfolio; she is a pleasure to work with.
David Goody, Business Project Manager at Essex Chambers of Commerce & Industry
Emily has a great eye and from the moment of requesting a quote to the moment
of delivery, she has been nothing but professional. Her work is top quality, I am
thrilled to recommend her.
Sarah Arrow, Communications Director, Arrow Light Haulage
Emily has always been able to ofer useful and helpful advise, I frst engaged Emily
when I needed a corporate brochure. She came up with a very professional, quality
product which I am still using to this day. She has also redesigned our business
stationery and has managed to design and print at a very reasonable price. I would
have no hesitation in recommending Emilys work to anyone.
Tim Homer, Managing Director, Apex Engineering Solutions
Emily produced book cover and CD-inlay designs. She was always quick, very
accurate and easy to deal with. I would defnitely recommend her work.
Helen Parker, Freelance Commissioning Editor for Mary Glasgow Magazines
A lot of people can be sceptical about testimonials, have they been written by
friends and family, did they give their permission to use them, are they telling the
truth?
So, for what its worth I only have testimonials from my clients and suppliers that
have worked with me, that have recommended me and that have written in their
own words (not held at pencil point) what they want to write about me. And here is
what they have to say...
Every growing business needs someone like Emily Hewett. Emily is a very creative
person and a great designer. If you need help with developing a social media
strategy, designing a new logo or website, then look no further than Emily.
David Murphy, CEO at Word of Mouth Communications
Emily brings both brains and design fair to her projects. I fnd she is able to interpret
my requirements well, bringing an objective perspective to help bring about better
ideas and details, and work out how these can best be applied.
Robert Tearle, mycareercoach.com
I was aware of Emilys creative fair combined with incredible speed and accuracy
when we were colleagues at JDA. When I started my own company she was the
obvious choice to fulfl my design requirements. I know that the work she delivers
will be on brief and within budget. Not only is she exceptionally talented, she is also
a great person to work with.
