FORECASTING
TALENT
Having reached its 10th year in business, full-service marketing
agency, Cubiqdesign, reflects on what life’s like for the maturing
business and how they’re recruiting for fresh talent.
John and Gemma Treby founded Cubiqdesign in 2004 with
ambitions of running one of the region’s most impressive
design and marketing agencies. Over a decade later, and the
company now employs 20 people working across over two
dozen marketing disciplines.
As businesses across East Anglia feel the benefits of a more
stable economic climate, they’re looking to invest more
in their strategic marketing, as well as their PR and digital
marketing activity. Cubiqdesign has seen significant growth in
its client base across these services, which is showing no signs
of slowing for 2016.
To ensure the business was delivering the best possible service
for its client base, owners John and Gemma Treby recruited
specialist talent into its marketing team. Emma Ward, PR
and Marketing Manager, and Rachel Cracknell, PR and
Marketing Executive, joined the business in March 2015, and
really hit the ground running.
“The opportunity to work across such a broad range of
sectors was a real draw for me when looking to move to
another company,” Rachel explains. “Covering everything
from PR and social media support, to strategic services, and
event management – there’s huge scope for professional
development.”
Georgia Watson joined Cubiqdesign in May 2014, having
successfully completed a yearlong internship in the publishing
side of the business. “My skills as a copywriter have certainly
developed since I started here and am now the PR and
Editorial Executive, with a key online responsibility” Georgia
explains. “I’ve seen what it takes to craft well written content,
whether that’s for a magazine, website or press release, and
love working alongside the design and web development
teams to bring the written word to life.”
Since joining the company earlier in the year, Emma has now
become part of the senior management team – representing
the marketing department at director level.
“There are lots of positive things coming out of
Cambridgeshire and Suffolk,” Emma Ward, Cubiqdesign’s
PR and Marketing Manager, explains. “We’re seeing larger
clients increase the sophistication of their spend, as well as
smaller businesses investing in strategic services to drive
growth. As we continue to attract new clients from across the
region, as well as London and Manchester, we need to grow
our team.”
As a result, Cubiqdesign is looking to recruit into its awardwinning
marketing team. “We’re looking for talented and
ambitious marketing professionals to come and join us.
We need people who love what they do and want to make
a difference to the businesses they’re working with,” Emma
explains. “There are infinite opportunities for development at
Cubiq, so it’s the perfect place for someone with a couple of
years experience to come and take the next step in their career
to really flourish.”
