Our story
Nixon was founded over 30 years ago, growing from a kitchen table enterprise into one of Cornwall’s best-known branding agencies. Throughout the years, we’ve become known and celebrated for producing work that’s creative, challenging, and strategically focused.
The core of our success lies in our shared belief in brand: asking why, probing deeper, and getting to the heart of what matters most to every client and their audiences. By uncovering the simple truth of what makes people tick, we create communications that make them feel.
100% employee owned
We’re 100% employee owned, making Nixon a true collaboration. Together, we make decisions and steer in directions that we know will truly benefit us, our work, and our clients. And because we’re the ones at the helm, you can trust that we’re genuinely invested in what we do.
Our team
Responsible for the creative output of the studio, Diggory plays a key role in every project.
While producing award-winning design, he also oversees our team, drawing together strategic thinking, words and visuals to create an impactful final piece. In his life before Nixon, Diggory carried out branding and advertising for names like Coca-Cola and Nike.
Tamsyn is an experienced designer, working on projects ranging from print and typography to UX and digital design.
Though diverse in skillset, Tamsyn's specialism is UX and user interface for web. Using her creativity and innate problem-solving mindset, she designs intuitive websites that are easy-to-use, visually pleasing and tailored to our clients’ key audiences.
Edoardo’s early experience working as a designer in Rome has shaped his design style, giving it a hint of Mediterranean influence through vibrant colours and playful illustration.
Before Nixon, Edoardo worked in Berlin with global brands such as Red Bull and Ray-Ban, creating impactful designs that resonate with people worldwide.
Megan is our in-house content specialist, collaborating across branding, print and digital to deliver clear and compelling copy with a strategic focus.
She's previously worked in editorial, marketing and copywriting for clients such as the BBC and the National Trust, and has completed a PhD with Falmouth University.
Cat cares for our clients at every step of their journey, acting as a bridge to the creative team and making sure each project runs smoothly.
She has years of experience as an agent representing top locations, studios, photographers and stylists. Before joining Nixon, she managed client relationships at a major London filming studio complex.
With years under her belt as a Senior Account Manager in London, Beth is also an experienced brand consultant and photographer.
As our Account & Marketing Strategist, Beth manages our client relationships and leads on our own marketing strategy. She’s a natural people person and a versatile member of the team.
Hannah is involved in every step of a project, from the initial planning stage to the final sign-off and follow-up support.
With a first-class degree in business enterprise and enviable organisational skills, she’s able to deploy seemingly effortless attention to detail, while also asking the all-important bigger questions about a project.
Martin founded Nixon Design over 30 years ago, and though he’s now entrusted the business to our team, he remains a vital part of our story.
It was Martin’s sense of vision and entrepreneurial spirit that made Nixon thrive and endure for so long. Now, he can be found supporting local initiatives, working on his own creative projects, or taking a dip (weather permitting) in the chilly Atlantic.
