Laconic and erudite, he can turn a hastily communicated brief resembling word soup into a cogent piece of prose,” comment MD Paul. Stretching his talents well beyond the written word, David has also produced many 3D renders used in campaigns, worked on making images fit for purpose and is the team’s go-to person with a camera when we can’t bring in a pro snapper. “He’s a genuine all-rounder with an impressive knowledge of most things and vocabulary to match. With a voice like that of Stephen Fry’s favourite uncle, he really could convince you that the moon is made of cheese. I have enjoyed every moment working with David and am looking forward to many more.” added Paul. Congratulations on 9 years at Vividink, we are all looking forward to the big one zero.
