about us

Homer Creative Limited is a creative communications agency with a strong and complementary range of skills. These include graphic design, web design, writing, editing, art direction, photography, illustration, training in presentation skills and software, opinion surveys, focus groups, facilitation, action planning, print and event management, and marketing and PR advice. As well as the two directors Brian Homer and Valerie Jenner, we have a Design Manager, Sue Race, and two designers, Jim Deaves and Matt Sadler.

Brian's career in graphic communications started in 1971 when he co-founded Grapevine, a Birmingham-based alternative 'what's on' magazine. In 1981 he went solo as Brian Homer Design and Homer Creative has grown from there. Valerie is a trained actor, director and teacher, and used to be a tutor in Voice, Speech and Text at the Central School of Speech and Drama. She joined Homer Creative in 1999 bringing experience in presentation skills training and all forms of live and spoken communication.

Sue is responsible for running our busy studio, scheduling work, liaising with clients, managing the workflow and dealing with printers. As well as being our senior designer, Sue is an accomplished artist and illustrator. Jim often takes a lead role in editorial projects, such as newsletters, brochures and reports, and directs photo shoots. His interests lie with the written word as much as the visual. Matt has excellent skills in print and web production. He also has sound technical knowledge and often advises and trains clients in various software packages.

Louise is our administrator, who is responsible for managing our premises, dealing with suppliers, operating our health & safety and environmental procedures and keeping track of our management system.

In addition, we can call on the services of associates and suppliers when needed. Our key associates are:

Roy contributes photography to a wide range of our work, particularly in education and for trade unions, and much of the photography on this site is by him.
