    Clayton Creative designed and created a new website for us. It has been an absolute joy to work with them from start to finish. They supported our internal team to bring the site to life, being incredibly responsive during some intense periods of activity as we worked to complete the content. The CMS they incorporated is incredibly easy to use allowing us the freedom to create the site which we visualised from the start.

    'I'd just like to say a big massive thank you to you all at Clayton Creative. It been a pleasure dealing with you and we are made up to have finally released the new website. You’ve made the project so easy and enjoyable to be part of.'

    Clayton Creative completely transformed our brand

    Clayton Creative completely transformed our brand with a new logo, brochures, cohesive social media presence and new website, both tailored to the needs of our clients and equipped with a very easy to use, bespoke content management system. We are delighted with our new look, which, we feel, truly reflects our expertise in RICS-regulated Insurance and Asset Valuations.

    But what really sets them apart is their dedication to our longterm success. Beyond the rebrand they provided us with a clear on-going marketing strategy. Their support has been invaluable and we now feel confident expanding our reach.

    i John Clayton

    John Clayton

    Creative Director

    John set up Clayton Creative in 2002 having already established himself as an experienced graphic designer and photographer, working in both large and medium sized creative agencies. Having worked for both B2C and B2B clients over the course of his career, John's area of expertise is now firmly rooted in helping companies in the Manufacturing, Engineering and Construction sectors solve their marketing challenges and supercharge their brands.

    John’s determination to emphasise the vital role high quality imagery and visual content plays not only in great design, but also in the brand identity of a company as a whole, has resulted in him growing the photography and video production side of the of the business significantly. In addition, John is a qualified Drone Pilot, which brings an exciting dimension and flexibility to his work.

    This invariably means that John is regularly out and about with one camera or another, often seen with hard hat and harness dangling from a cherry picker or squeezing into impossible corners to achieve that 'elusive' shot. Back at the studio, he can be found behind a sea of monitors, editing a latest video production or working on a design project.

    i Claire Clayton

    Claire Clayton

    Director

    Claire joined as Director of Clayton Creative in 2006. She thrives on working as part of a small team, closely collaborating with her clients, which allows her to play a key role in every area of the business. Driven by a fierce passion for high quality and attention to detail, she loves the fact that Clayton Creative are able to provide 'everything to do with the visual aspect of brand' from under one roof, allowing complete creative control and delivering the very best results for clients.

    Although Claire has specialised in the Manufacturing, Engineering and Construction sectors for over fifteen years, her background was originally in consumer PR, working for names such as Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Barbie, which meant that the importance of 'brand integrity' was instilled very early on in her career. This, along with working on the editorial team of several magazine titles and managing events, such as The Lawyer of the Year Awards, has given her a wealth of transferable skills in project management, copywriting and creative/marketing strategy, which she has continued to build on and evolve over many years at Clayton Creative.
