Domenico Manes , Cambridge, United Kingdom

I'm a graphic designer and art director with twenty years of multidisciplinary design experience. I create brand strategies, visual identity systems, digital products and printed collateral for cultural and commercial clients.

I practice contemporary visual communication through a bold and conceptual approach and a continuous research method, relying on culture, experimentation and intuition. Established senior, self-sufficient and passionate as well as optimistic, good at defending and protecting the work, selling it and bringing everyone along with them.

During the past two years, I have worked as a Design Art Director for Ogilvy London. My role, as part of a new team, created ad hoc within the agency was to elevate the crafting and the conceptual impact of design, educate the agency with regards to design and most importantly create beautiful work. I was involved in pitches, online and offline campaigns, branding and event projects for clients like British Airways, Boots, Vodafone, Voxi, Formula1, Amex and Coca-Cola. Prior to joining Ogilvy, over the course of five years, I collaborated as a conceptual designer and design director, with some of the most influential London agencies and studios (Landor, Interbrand, Futurebrand, Design Studio, McCann to name a few).
