THE

Larner has always been a pleasure to work with and has always exceeded my expectations.

His direction, dedication and overall attitude have enabled me to feel confident in each of the services he and his team have supplied.

This is worth its weight in gold!!!

I would thoroughly recommend Larner and his team to any individual or organisation who require a company that can offer that extra drive and support for their business.

STUDIO.

When it comes to copywriting in the Studio, my first choice is always Larner. Always manages to hit the nail on the head – which means a job done right first time, without the need for time-costly and financially-costly amends.

Sam Kitson
MD, Wedogoodthings

LIKES

Larner’s Nokia N97 ‘biggest thing to hit the streets’ has gone down a storm. Everyone’s been saying fantastic things about him. When it comes to hiring a freelance copywriter, Larner’s top of my ‘Likes’ list to call.

Belinda Green
Creative Director, now Digital Strategist, Gyro, Manchester

A

Great with people and saying it how it is. A professional who knows how to bring out the best in other creatives whilst instilling trust and confidence with clients.

Rachael Kearney
Illustrator & Web Designer

SAUSAGE.

Larner questions and challenges team members and always is on the look out for new possibilities, techniques and methods.

With all that one could require from a Creative Director to make the sausage sizzle, Larner calmly shepherds concepts from early rough ideas to practical, achievable, yet highly original fully formed creative project strategies.

Suggesting something brilliant is easy – doing so in real world terms is not. That is the skill required in good CDs, something which Larner has in abundance.
