Simon spun The Globe for the first time 15 years ago armed with a Commerce Degree, a Masters in Marketing, a love of words and brands, and about $12. He likes writing, designing, leading creative teams and thinking about stuff—a lot. He applies these design, writing, leadership and strategic skills to our clients, enjoying extremely good coffee on the journey. He’s hoping to double his money at some point.

Simon runs a bit, sings a bit, cooks a bit and is married to Fiona. He and Fiona have a 10-month old daughter, Molly (also something to do with bits). Together they run an espresso bar (Magazine Espresso) from the same location as The Globe. He loves Jesus and thinks people are tops and strange.

Nik received a Diploma in Graphic Design in 1998 and has consistently applied his prolific work ethic and fresh perspective to deliver design solutions that make clients giddy with unbridled enthusiasm. His natural grasp of design aesthetics extends from print to web to environmental and interior design. Nik loves branding—creating and nurturing them. He is clean and nurses a closet desire to work with architects—perhaps as much to do with his current building project as anything else.

One day, Nik will live only 5 minutes away from work but for now enjoys hanging out wherever Kevin Rudd’s hanging out and spending time with his wife, Kristy, and two boys: Hudson and Harper. He’s an exercise junkie who sporadically plays basketball.

One day, Rudy was here. We’re still not entirely sure how it happened but it really did. Rudy developed his strategic marketing skills, strong ideas and lust for direct mail over 15 years while building his own business: Breakthrough. A self-confessed direct mail guru, Rudy has done some great work for some key clients and Australia-wide accounts. About 10 minutes ago, he joined The Globe. It’s been great so far.

Rudy enjoys board games, bridge, and chocolate covered caramel confectionery and is soon to add quality coffee to his list. He is married to Charmaine and has two daughters.

Bronwyn is a creative jewel in the crown of The Globe. Having signed up with previous design and advertising agency experience and a Bachelor of Arts in Design, Bronno has produced some of The Globes’ most memorable creative work this millennium. Blending passions for design, photography and pink hair dye, Bronwyn has produced gold with alarming regularity, creating much joy in the hearts of our clients.

Bronno has a penchant for small marsupial-like canines and has been known to bend herself in half wearing lycra.

Caitlin was lured away from the clutches of Marketforce in 2007 and made her way to The Globe armed with strong technical skills in print production, an uncanny ability to estimate the weight of paper and a soft spot for optical alignment. Among her many obsessions she lists woodcut prints, fifties furniture design and anything edible as up there with the best of them.

Her fellow workers would list her obsessions as random comments, general excitement and caffeinated beverages.

A fresh addition to The Globe, Naomi’s folio was choc-full of such design-goodness found her and irresistible acquisition to the team. Backed up by marketing and communications smarts – we told her to cancel her plans for Melbourne and sign up for a morning drive to Burswood. Approachable in nature, her skills ensure both fine design and fun times for the client. A former marketing coordinator for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, Naomi has taken a shining in all aspects of design, marketing and advertising.

Naomi dances like a banshee and is regularly recognised for her diminutive stature. She does not drink coffee but one day hopes to add it to her dietary requirements…well we hope so anyway.

Jesse arrived at The Globe in 2004 with a hat, a boyish grin and some very tidy design skills. We encouraged him to put on some clothes. Armed with some ludicrously giddy artistic skills and a seriously bent mind, Jesse manages to use his forces for good with alarming regularity. With a core competence in the area of brand development, Jesse could deep-etch a millipede blindfolded if he had to and continues to grow his innate design skills across a variety of media.

Jesse harbours a fierce desire to defame public property. The Globe harbours a desire to see Jesse drive a car before his 40th birthday.

In the spirit of the 2008 Olympic Games, Karlee’s introduction to The Globe and handover was completed in a similar time to the women’s marathon (about 2 hours and 26 minutes)! She has taken on her role with great enthusiasm and hunger to go further!

Currently she’s completing a double major in Marketing and Public Relations and gaining hands-on experience with some of our clients. Informing her marketing smarts is a strong creative inclination previously demonstrated in Fashion and Textile design. While her primary role is administrative, her desire to be involved in the design process is highly anticipated.

Karlee enjoys a large flat white and has an apparent aversion to rats.
