Team Profiles - Adam
Adam Clark
Ba (hons) Marketing
Client Services, Marketing & Web Strategy
He's Left-Brain:RightBrain bamboozled
In a twisted mesh of fate, with Maths, Physics & Chemistry A-Levels as well as Computing, C-Programming and Electronics qualifications, Adam then spent most of his early days writing stories, writing music and working within the music industry running and promoting bands and music events... oh and some marketing work for Sky and Panasonic too.
He's got a degree you know...
After, doing Marketing under the radar, Adam did a degree in Marketing (and helped write an internal marketing course for British Airways in his spare time) and then jumped headlong into the world of Advertising & Design Agencies.
He did the 'Agency Thing'
Starting out at Anderson & Lembke (now McCann Erickson) as an account manager and then working for some of the largest regional agencies in Berkshire & Hampshire on some of the best brands he could find.(including Dell, Hewlett Packard, Yellow Pages, Panasonic, Ebay).
And worked client side
Adam has also worked client side for larger companies such as Lucent Technologies - as well as much smaller companies. All roles were within Marketing - working up to Sales & Marketing Director of Application Developments and being part of the team that helped launch the business onto OFEX.
On top of the digital trends
The world of marketing, marketing communications and design was moving towards the internet and it has been this transition which has really given Adam the ability to stand out from his peers. With his creative abilities and his scientific qualifications there is a left-brain, right-brain convergence which means that, armed with a marketing degree and a shed load of top-agency experience, the ooba business is able to understand the strategy, dreams and visions of our clients and turn them into detailed, tangible activities that really work.
No brains... no business
Anyone can code HTML (seriously it's not that hard).. Without the insight, business acumen and top level experience, ooba:interactive would just be "another design agency". With Adam as the main business and strategic mind behind the wheel (and with the team to support him!) our clients receive more than just a website. However small the project.
