Our team of writers

20:20 Agency houses a pretty eclectic bunch so we felt our Blog should reflect the mix of people that make up our mindset.

From Researchers and Planners to Copywriters and Art Directors the writing team have one thing in common – we enjoy expressing our thoughts and opinions and like to do it in our own unique way.

Here goes…

• Hayley Toothill
  I’m a PR and Social Media Account Executive and all round social media geek. The baby of the agency, I read books about theory for pleasure and study MA Online Communications part time. Occasionally a musical type I sing, play guitar and write music. If I wasn’t in PR, I’d be a volcanologist!
• Andrew Hovells
  Account planner, which means I whore my brain for a living. Nobody wanted the body. When not working I'm playing with my kids, swimming or making tea properly, in the pot
• Dee Atkin
  Copywriter and Creative Head. Loves brands with a story to tell, films that make her cry, wide open spaces, whisky and hotels (especially together). Hates fake tan, txt spk, being stalked by the internet, movie tie-in editions of books and the smell of coconuts. (Somewhat predictably) suspects there's a novel inside her somewhere, but passing it is proving painful.
• Ed Richardson
  Music loving digital enthusiast. Find myself trying to make sense of it all quite often. Also likes: real ale, fell running, urban cycling in the early hours, maps, reliving my childhood as my children get more Lego. Can be found on Twitter ranting.
• Chris Glew
  In house chef, avid soul music collector and addicted PC gamer. Working with food is a passion and seeing people take pleasure from what you produce is amazing.
• Ben Johnston
  20:20 Agency’s SEO manager. Caffeine addict, industrial music fan, occasional DJ, frequent Xbox 360 gamer and owner of more carbon fibre products than can be considered strictly necessary.
• Laura Burlow
  Social Media Executive during the week, musician and vinyl record collector at the weekend. A self-confessed chatterbox who loves out-of-the-ordinary digital marketing campaigns and has far too many band t-shirts in her wardrobe!
• Matt Powell
  Fail moments include hugging Mark Zuckerberg, being held at gunpoint at Berlin Airport and mistakenly eating Claudia Schiffer's doughnut. Can also be found on Instagram and Twitter as @observatron
• Tom Griffiths
  Digital Media Director: PPC, SEO, Display and that. Love language, reading stories to my kids in daft accents, music, Welsh rugby, rum, guitarin'. Just try and be nice, okay?
• Emmeline Scott
  Research Consultant by day, karaoke legend by night! Extremely nosy, chatty and undeniably Northern. It would be a shame if I wasn't a Market Researcher.
• Luke O'Neil
  Blog Editor, Marketing Communications Manager and Golden Era Hollywood obsessive. Would rather have a starter than dessert and dresses like a granddad some days. Favourite quote - “With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn't consider dying” Bette Davis
• Ian Parr
  Builds internets well, dresses poorly. Helps keep catch21.co.uk fighting the good fight. Enjoys the music of 'The (Mighty) Fall'. Avid Twitterer, but not in a way that represents his current employer
• Sally Rushton
  PR and social media type by day, radio/podcast presenter for @Club60music by night. Very nosey, quite loud Tamworthian with a penchant for clashing prints, nice sounding words and tattooed musicians.
• Rob Edwards
  My kitchen plays witness to my singing and dancing skills. Daddy is the best word in the world. In my memories I have been a guitarist, actor, author and singer. Cultural observer and market researcher. Rydw i'n hoffi coffi. Fluent in sarcasm.
• Mark Lambert
  …whiskers on kittens, a freshly washed car, Revels (including the orange ones), Ghostbusters, a straight six, power tools and a DIY challenge, The Thick Of It, mist, Junior Soprano, the Peak District, Kate Bush, sarcasm.
• Simon Ransley
  Simon Ransley, Content Strategist at 20:20 Agency (Sheffield). I’m a massive fan of the web in all its glory and chaos. I’m interested in all kinds of web content: SEO, social media, WordPress, all-things Google, e-commerce, analytics and conversion.
• Paul Stallard
  Planning Director, cyclist, gardener, brand explorer, frustrated astronaut, digital thinker, researcher, general enthusiast, occasional cynic.
• David Jones
  Loves: understanding & ideas, words & pictures, peace & quiet, imagination & results, &… Loathes: ignorance & fear, sound & fury, stuff & nonsense, sadness & regret, but…
• Nick Flewitt
  Head of Effectiveness specialising in email and online communications planning and evaluation, I passionately believe that the secret of successful evaluation is in delivering actionable insight in an easy to understand format.
• Chris Hart
