Custom digital creative solutions
Graeme Thomas
Digital creative consultant
If you know that your business needs to become “more digital” but you aren’t sure how to achieve that, I specialise in coming up with custom creative solutions that will have the biggest impact for the least amount of investment.
Throughout my career, from graphic designer through to creative director, I’ve been fortunate enough to work across almost every print and digital medium with companies of all shapes and sizes. It’s this breadth and depth of knowledge that I am able to draw upon for my clients, using my knowledge of existing solutions and the capabilities of code to devise tailored solutions that really work.
My skills as a creative consultant have developed organically over the years. Along the way, clients may have mentioned an issue they were having with a convoluted human-led process, a frustration with an underperforming piece of software, or a simple sense of knowing that they needed to improve their digital processes, but they weren’t sure how to do that. From simple recommendations on servers and email hosts, through to designing and building large custom platforms with multiple moving parts, I have helped many clients grow their businesses while saving them time and money.
SUPPORTING YOUR PITCHES
In my role as a consultant, I often assist creative agencies in winning the tendering process for various creative projects, in particular e-learning, custom software and UX/UI.
Agencies usually already have an in-house team capable of doing a lot of the work, but sometimes they have a skills gap which is where I can help. Your designers might need a guiding hand through a new piece of software, or help with adapting their designs for e-learning or UX/UI. You may have a talented developer who would benefit from some additional direction from an architect on a custom piece of software that’s never been built before. Or perhaps you simply need relevant case studies and a confident presence in meetings to strengthen your tender and secure the work.
Clients

Pernod Ricard
I partnered with e-learning agency Strange Hill Education, who needed my expertise to win a tender for a course and custom LMS build for global wine and spirits seller Pernod Ricard. In addition to building and implementing two e-learning courses and a custom-built LMS, I worked closely with the project manager on the certifications needed for Pernod Ricard’s compliance requirements. I also advised them on new key roles that they would require to manage the platform going forward.
