Project Managers are a famously determined bunch of expert relationship builders, professional plate spinners, and full-time grafters.

And we’re happy to introduce one of our newest team members, Delivery Lead, Lucy!

She joins us with over ten years of experience delivering digital programs across a whole host of sectors for clients such as BMW, Greene King, and the BBC.

👩🏻‍🍳 She’s an avid foodie and loves to try new food spots. Thai food is her favorite, with Mexican a close second (we recommended she try and in central Bristol 😋).

✈️ She’s always loved to travel and managed to visit 40 countries before she turned 30.

☕️ She can’t drink tea or coffee but owns an ✨extensive✨ collection of herbal teas

Welcome in, Lucy!

🥁 A drumroll for the latest Great People to enter the fold…

🎨 Emily Armstrong - Graphic Designer

Great Person Emily brings a great tan with her, as she’s recently returned from traveling around Southeast Asia. When she’s not adventuring abroad, you can find her being adventurous in the UK. Think paddle boarding, surfing, kayaking— you get the drift. 😉

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Jenny McNeill - HR Assistant

Jenny grew up on the Moray Coast in the North East of Scotland and recently moved down to Bristol to join us. When she’s not looking after all of our professional and developmental needs, she can be found paddle boarding, sailing, swimming and generally being a ray of sunshine.

🪷 Elizabeth Jillett - QA Engineer

Liz joined the team a few months’ ago back and got her head straight into optimising the digital experiences we build. She loves learning new things; she’s currently taking an art course with the V&A; collecting Japanese woodblock prints and making her own in her spare time.

🎧 Had Armitstead - Client Partner

Had loves drum & bass (the more niche the better). She loves her dog, Buddy, and hanging out with her nieces who Had fondly describes as drama queens. She’d take a plate of mac and cheese over anything else (fair) and is working hard on her stand up comedy at the moment… hashtag

☕️ A big morning in the Big Smoke for Great State!

Yesterday we had the privilege of meeting with a specially selected group of global B2B digital leaders at our event in London.

The reason they turned up? Not just the smoked salmon rolls laid on by 😋, but to hear our experts talk about how to prepare for the modern B2B buyer in a new age of B2B digital. We had a busy room, and an even busier agenda.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thank you to our two contributing speakers, Rozlyn Brennan from and Clare Hilton from .

Meet Great State’s latest creative hire, Georgia!

Georgia joins us from Sydney (but a true Bristolian from birth!) as our new Content Creator. She’s focussing on all things moving image, motion design and social content.

After studying film and TV production at JMC Academy Sydney, and a stint of travelling Europe, Georgia moved back to the UK to find a career in the creative industries – and we’re lucky she landed here at Great State.

When she’s not busy creating top notch content for our clients – you can find her soaking up the sun (and beer) on King Street, beating everyone at darts in Flight Club, or snowboarding down the slopes at Rise Festival.

🎧 Current Spotify on-repeats: anything by Ocean Alley, Surf Cruse or Sticky Fingers 🎶
