Sean Makin: Creative Director, Designer and Marketing Consultant

As a dedicated storyteller, my passion lies in crafting meaningful and engaging experiences.

With years of experience as a creative director, designer, and marketing manager, I have successfully delivered effective campaigns and brand initiatives for global clients. My expertise merges the latest technology and trends with traditional marketing tactics, ensuring the development and execution of impactful strategies.

Professional Experience

I have a proven track record of creating and implementing successful marketing campaigns across multiple countries. I take pride in deploying campaigns that communicate messages effectively to target audiences worldwide. My approach is centred around brand storytelling, focusing on creating compelling narratives that elevate brands and engage customers through copywriting, content creation, and digital marketing. My work has received international recognition, and I continuously seek new ways to push the boundaries of creative storytelling.

My creative solutions for leading brands include intuitive user experiences, visually stunning designs, and a deep understanding of the customer journey to create meaningful and impactful experiences. I tailor my work to the target audience, ensuring visually appealing and intuitive designs that resonate.

Understanding the importance of business development and collaboration, I apply this knowledge to every project. My experience with leading PR agencies has provided insights into the role of PR, which I seamlessly integrate into the marketing mix.

Global Perspective

I have extensive experience working in multiple countries, including the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, and the GCC Member States. This global perspective has enriched my approach and allowed me to adapt strategies for diverse markets.

Passion for Mentorship

I am passionate about providing creative solutions, helping others achieve their goals, and positively impacting the world. In my spare time, I write articles and posts on various aspects of design and marketing and mentor those looking to advance their careers. During the lockdown in 2020, I noticed many companies needed help transitioning to the digital world. I began offering web design and marketing consultancy services to assist them, working with startups, charities, and small businesses to establish their online presence. This rewarding experience has allowed me to participate in various creative projects.

Creativity is a powerful tool that can help small businesses and organisations succeed. Leveraging creativity enables them to develop unique and innovative ways to reach their target audience and stand out from competitors. I remain committed to helping small businesses and organisations achieve their goals and thrive in the digital world.

twohundredby200

In 2002, I founded twohundredby200, a multi-disciplinary studio team that thrived on creative challenges. We offered various services, including graphic design, web design, brand identity, and marketing. Our goal was to excite and inspire our clients with work that met their needs and exceeded their expectations. We believed in the power of imagination and collaboration, focusing on creating outstanding results.

Our team comprised some of the industry’s most talented and creative individuals, each with specialised skills. We combined our collective imagination and expertise to ensure our work was always exceptional. Twohundredby200 was more than just a design studio; we also published a globally popular creative magazine, considered the first online publication to fully utilise the PDF format. It was first published in 2002, with the final edition in 2018.

At twohundredby200, we were passionate about our work. We believed that when work felt like play, the results were always exceptional. We brought passion, creativity, and expertise to every project, working tirelessly to provide innovative solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.

twohundredby200 now operates under the new name of Taesea for which I hold the position of Senior Partner.
