Why Flamingo?
At Flamingo, we practice what we preach. We don’t blend in with other marketing companies, instead providing outstanding marketing designed to make you stand out. We go above and beyond in everything we do, getting to know you personally to ensure the difference we make really matters. We only work with a select number of clients, enabling us to continue offering an individualised service created just for you. Our managing director, Emma, oversees everything and our open-office policy means we’re always available to talk. We’re not just a multi award-winning marketing agency, we’re your own, external marketing department, 100% dedicated to you. We never work with your competitors, and your campaigns are fully bespoke to you so that we can make you shine.

Meet the Team
Emma Sansom
Managing Director
As Founder and Managing Director of Flamingo, Emma’s main priority is to set the strategy with the clients each month, make sure all deadlines are met, ensure that the team are able to do their jobs successfully and most importantly, make sure everyone is happy! Emma has always led from the front and isn’t afraid to get stuck into the hard work to keep everything moving along.
Outside of work, Emma loves to perform on stage – Musicals are her specialty. When she’s not rehearsing for her next show, she loves spending time with her friends and family – it’s an ongoing joke in our office that she’s never at home!
Chris
Head of Marketing & Clientele
As Flamingo’s Head of Marketing & Clientele, Chris works closely with Emma to set the strategy with clients, and then manages the work through to completion with the rest of the team. An all-round marketer, Chris can create campaigns; craft engaging copy; jump onto any design work; manage your website, emails, socials and more!
Outside of work, Chris runs a community theatre group, where his biggest project each year is writing, directing and starring in their annual pantomime. Oh yes it is!
Eddy
Marketing Manager
With a diverse marketing background, Eddy has a proven track record of delivering and managing high-impact digital marketing strategies, including a focus on original content creation to boost brand awareness and website traffic for conversions. He also works with the team to ensure all work promised to clients is completed.
Outside of work, Eddy lives at either end of the spectrum you can find him looking after his physical health or sat in the pub enjoying a pint with his mates.
Oscar
Content Executive
If you’ve ever been staring a blank word document thinking “where do I even start?” look no further than Oscar. He’s got a scattershot of creative ideas, and always tries to look at things from a unique perspective. Specialising in writing and design. If you’ve got to write about a topic that is difficult to understand, he’s the guy to make it look easy.
After work, when he’s not cooking or baking, you’ll usually find Oscar prepping to run his bi-monthly game of Dungeons & Dragons or trying to keep up to date on the latest blockbusters.
George
Copywriting Executive
Ever since he first picked up a pen, George has been passionate about writing. Having tried his hand at poetry, short stories and football journalism, he now creates engaging copy for our clients, plus our website, emails and socials, as our Copywriting Executive.
Outside of work, you may find George in the gym, going for long walks or guiding his team to success on Football Manager.
Rich
Creative Executive
With over 20 years of design experience, Rich is Flamingo’s resident creative. He works closely with all of our clients to bring content to life through graphic design, photography and video. As a brand expert, your company's image will always be skilfully presented and consistent.
When not at work, Rich can either be found on endless adventures with his two young daughters or riding bikes… Mostly riding bikes!
Hanna
Marketing & Sales Assistant
As an enthusiastic and driven individual with 9 years' experience in Customer Service, Hanna decided to take the leap into a career in marketing and sales. Hanna will support you with all things marketing, from database building and email campaigns to social media posting. She will also look out for all your leads and opportunities!
Outside of work you may find Hanna out dancing with her friends, keeping up to date on all the latest TV programmes or spending time with her nieces and nephew.
