About

At forty two creative, owned by graphic designer Steve Parkman, we’ve amassed over 30 years’ experience in design, advertising and print. Our track record of creative innovation and commercial success spans projects of all sizes for clients across the UK and beyond.

A proven solution

The way we see it, creativity isn’t just a matter of taste. It’s also a matter of trust. You have to trust your creatives not to make beginners’ mistakes, to come up with fresh solutions that work in the real world, and to spend your money wisely.

So rest assured that we’ve been there and done that… We have backgrounds in big advertising agencies in London and Manchester. We have won big national as well as local awards, including Ad of the Year at the RAD Awards. We understand that all the creativity in the world is no use unless it gets the job done.

Reaching further

And yet experience isn’t everything. Whether you’re marketing your products, advertising your services, attracting consumers or colleagues, if you just aim for the basic requirement, you’ll fall short of what you could achieve.

Our business is about adding value, building recognition and potentially planting your message out there for years to come. That takes an extra level of ambition – the desire to do something different, something memorable, every time.
