TBG wouldn’t be TBG without Simon as he set the company up in 2001. As Managing Director, his role is to make sure that TBG keeps up its fantastic growth rate whilst all current clients remain in their happy state. In 2005 he won the Coolest Employee Award. But not because he’s the Managing Director. No, not because of that …

Ramola is TBG’s Finance Director and, when she’s not making sure everyone is paid on time, she’s keeping a close eye on the company’s finances. Ramola keeps the petty cash tin under lock and key, in a safe, under a rug, with a big heavy piano on top of it.

Deano joined TBG in 2002 and is a previous Employee of the Year. He originally started as a Media Buyer and one of TBG’s Client Directors. Dean is a very happy, ever-so-slightly manic, person to be around. His nickname is Scrat-Dog. YouTube “scrat” and you’ll see what we mean!

Lillieman is a previous Employee of the Year. He recently set up the TBG Lab and now only speaks in binary. He is also obsessed that everyone at TBG is happy and content. He introduced Gin Runs and “We Love You” vouchers. 011000100100010.

Sergeant Ball built the TBG Creative Dept from scratch and is now our Executive Creative Director. Chris is more than obsessed with swimming, biking and running. Imagine his excitement when he discovered triathlons! Buy one, get two free! He also likes custard.

Fieldycakes joined TBG in 2003 as a PA, working her way up to Account Director. She used to manage the Display & Email team and is now our Client Services Director.  Clients love her attention to detail and her obsession with perfection. However, we just love observing her, and her OCD nature, dealing with travelling on the dirty Underground. She a member of the exclusive “Employee of the Year” club!

Jamie joined TBG in 2003 as a freelance Designer and has been a fully fledged member for years now. Many would say he’s a quiet type but really he is just thinking about his next super creative idea. Also, you just can’t shut him up after one Jack Daniels & Coke. He is a one man crusade against Kiss FM and at the weekend he enjoys silence.

Janet joined TBG in 2004. One of the main things that Janet does is to make sure that everyone is happy and treated fairly. When she’s not doing that, she’s keeping an eye on our finances. She loves sunny afternoons in the park and all things Latin including … erm … Custard Creams …

Dave has been with TBG since 2003 and is a two-time winner of Employee of the Year. He is responsible for delivering strategic planning solutions to the TBG client base. He honestly believes that he puts the ‘G’ in TBG – we haven’t had the heart to correct him. He’s Scottish and VERY proud of it.

Simon “Spaullminator” Spaull is our Business Development Director. Our clients know him well. If you’re not a client yet, you will know him soon. He NEVER gives up as he believes that every company should have a TBG. A little known fact is that he is only 5′ 6″ and actually uses an array of mirrors to appear 6′ 4″.

Davina started in 2005 as an Display Exec and was immediately placed on TBG’s gaming accounts. Alongside her passion for gambling is alcohol, so it is only fitting that she started Direct Wines on their route to success with TBG. On a night out, she is often given EVEN odds that she will fall over. Nice to see she’s putting her expertise to good use. Her nickname is Donut.  Donut is now an Associate Display Director.

Becks joined TBG in 2006 and is now Display Manager on Moneysupermarket and Experian. She’s always smiling and loves nothing more than taking a client out to a casino and getting them drunk. As it gives her an excuse. She also cries when she laughs; and as she’s always laughing, she’s always crying.

Jon started in September 2006 and is one of our Mid-Weight Designers. He’s our Concept King! Or is that Koncept King? Anyway, he’s originally from the Isle of Wight so is often seen up the lido on a blow-up lilo, shouting at people who get too close to his “island”.

Sharon Joined TBG in 2006 as PA to the Creative Director. Soon after, she was promoted to Digital Producer and adopted the nickname of ‘Gnome’. When she isn’t fishing, she manages the jobs that come into Creative, making sure they happen without fuss or fight. Sharon and Caroline often have full on cat fights in the office to make sure Creative jobs are delivered on time (not really, they love each other). She likes boiled eggs. And can drink her own weight x 3 in vino.

Jenny AKA “Sunny” started in the Media team during November 2006 – it was a bit of a fluke she got the job as she didn’t even apply for it! Jenny’s ears have been bleeding since she joined the American Express account. Doing “bum bum” shots with clients is now her favourite past time. Not sure if that is OK or not.

Lorenzo is our very own Italian stallion and and a regular winner of Designer of the Year. Somehow he manages to balance being absolutely mental with delivering brilliant creative. In a kind of ‘on a unicycle, on a tightrope, up a mountain, holding a baby hamster in each hand’ kind of way…

Amber joined TBG in 2007 as Account Director. She’s obsessed with Excel. No lie. She finds it virtually impossible to send an email without a colourful chart pasted into it. Amber is Dutch, hence the funny accent and the unpronounceable surname. She now works with clients to develop their online strategy.

Krups joined TBG in 2007 as an Accounts Assistant - entering purchase invoices, solving supplier queries and chasing for credit notes.  When he isn’t doing that, he is on his mobile phone, providing Mi5 with advice regarding UK homeland security, keeping criminals off the streets and protecting you in your very own home.

Scott joined TBG from BGL Group at the beginning of 2007 to launch the specialist insurance division. He now manages the Media Team. He’s from the great county of West Yorkshire and uses such delightful phrases as “Wash be’ind thi lug oils. Tha’s got enuff muck in there to grow ‘taters.”

Mr Wardropper’s previous incarnation was as a data analyst. TBG has managed to knock the “boring” out of him whilst encouraging him to further hone his special, number crunching skills. Now he is officially a super human, CPA-target hitting, force of nature. He has more Facebook friends than anyone in TBG.

Badyr has been with TBG since March 2007. He is well known for being bloody good at his job and for constantly asking a squillion questions. In fact, he is like a four year old. No matter what you say to him, his response will be “Why?” He lost his shoe on a TBG night out.

Amy works in the Finance Department as Financial Controller. She somehow manages to put the fear of God into people, even with her sweet smile and soothing nature. Maybe it’s like the quiet before the storm? Whatever it is, she’s a gem!

Bromley Boy Beefy dropped onto the TBG Creative Team scene seemingly unnoticed as mild mannered designer Nick Williams. It wasn’t until a chance discovery on YouTube that his gurning human beat box skills were realised. Somehow, Nick also finds time to bust out some serious Flash ads and compose some mean illustrations.

Louise joined TBG in 2007 as an Account Executive.  She is known throughout the business for working really really REALLY hard.  It is not unknown for her to send emails at 2am!  Despite popular belief, she’s not American. Or Canadian. If you want a laugh, double check with her next time to speak to her… “I AM NOT AMERICAAAAAN!”

Maria started with us in 2007 as a Receptionist. It didn’t take us long to work out that she was a complete whiz whereupon she was speedily promoted to Account Exec. She won Best Haircut in the 2007 Employee Awards due to her high-fashion geometric bob. She sings like an angel.

Paul joined TBG in 2008 and deals with invoicing, payments and queries. He’s an avid sports fan, obsessed with Football, Cricket, Rugby and Motor Racing. His hero as a child was Roy Keane but now its Larry Kahn. Who is the Tiddlywinks World Champion.

John joined us in 2008 as Business Development Exec.  His favourite pastimes include climbing buildings, boxing and painting. He does all of these at the same time, every Sunday in Hackney. His Aunt was the first British woman to climb Mount Everest!

Dan is a member of the TBG Search team and is a master of wizardry in all things PPC. When he’s not creating magic on his accounts, he’s fantasizing about riding a motorbike to see the Trappist monasteries in Belgium. God knows why he would ever get on a bike again … ask about his BMX accident in 2003. His nickname is “Onions” because he knows them.  Or maybe because everyone’s eyes water after hearing his BMX story…

Lynsey is an official member of the TBG London Irish Community. Although spending too much time in Bristol has made her accent just plain weird. This lovely lass is an Display Exec in the Display | Email team and, interestingly, met Jon from S Club 7 whilst on holiday in Portugal at the age of 14. All together now … “Reach for the stars …”

Mr Cassidy is our Creative Director and is quite simply a marvelous mind. What many people don’t know is that he was once a very successful musician. He once played to a staggering THIRTY people. Although he over analyses his alcohol abuse, his main concern in life is unsubstantial windscreen rain. He can’t say the word “full” properly which we discovered at dinner on our company jolliday to Paris.

Mandy is a Search & Affiliate Account Manager and passes her expertise on to many of our leading clients. Our Mandy loves nothing more than escaping to Southern Greece to learn more about how the Greek Gods lived. She’s our very own Goddess Protogenia! (look it up…)

Jody is now our third official member of the TBG London Irish Community. However, she now has a brilliantly weird accent which she worked on in Canada over a period of ten years, ay. She spent her time there fighting and training Grizzly Bears whilst living in an igloo, ay. Now she’s in London and working for us as an Account Exec in the Media team. Ay.

Nicola is our Receptionist and is half Greek and half Oirish. Following a TBG trend, she loves a good drink. In particular Cider. She obviously can’t get enough of the TBG Official Drink, Cidka (that’s Magners with a Vodka chaser). She has a degree in English Literature and Classics which means she tried to avoid reading for three years. She wants to become famous solely so she can go on Strictly Come Dancing.

Pesh(y) is one of our Search Account Managers. He somehow uses his engineering background to make search work perfectly. There are rumours of him previously working on a project that involved Space Travel. I kid you not! Our very own Spaceman! He enjoys freaking out his colleagues by folding back his eyelids. Gag. He prefers to be called Pesh or Peshy. Don’t call him Rupert or face the wrath of the lids…

Simon Luff joined TBG early 2009 as Associate Client Director and is a Social Media obsessive. Unbeknownst to the team are the super facts that he is classically trained in fine cookery and can play the trumpet like a pro. His friends think he is the double of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Within weeks he introduced us to the wonderful world of wordplay regarding his surname. Everything is now “luffly”. We “luff” you Luff!

Our main man Moe works in the Search & Affiliates division and is known for loving life.  He’s a proper chat attack when he gets going.  In his spare time he likes to race pigeons from his bird loft in Stratford.  His favourite pigeon is called Maggie and holds the record for single bird flight between West Ham and Lille.  His catchphrase is “You can take Moe out of East London but you can’t take East London out of Moe!”

Marc works in our Search department is a complete genius with numbers. He lived in Poland for three years where he used to teach English and Business. When asked why he was a vegetarian, Marc simply answered “because I like the cute little animals” … we like to insert “cooked on a BBQ” after his response for a laugh. He supports Supports QPR and Wisla Krakow. “Zapraszamy do TBG Londyn!”

Here is our ode to Paul from Creative …
“Oh Paul, who once was a freelance photographer and snapped Jodie Marsh, why did you shout obscenities to Holly Valance in HMV? Could it have been because you prefer drums to melody? And if you are so choosy about music, why date the niece of a Dire Straits band member? How did you beat the Volvo in your death crash?  And why did you throw a brick through an upright piano at the ICA? Please we beg you … let us understand your strangeness. Fin.”
