We’ve finally gone and joined the social revolution that is Facebook. Check out the flock – past & present, our work, music taste via Last FM widget and post your creative, fun stuff and comments to our fun wall. Get in touch, we’d love to hear from you, you may even bump into other like-minded creatives.
You’ll need to search for me ‘Neil Asher’ (with the Black Sheep Logo not personal photo) as businesses can’t register.
See you there!
Black Sheep
In 1998, we opened the pen with one goal in mind, ‘how about being the best?’ It was a bold ethos that we always strove to live up to.
During Black Sheep's 15 years as one of Cardiff & Wales' leading creative companies, we’d built a reputation for great creative work and a client service that was second to none. We achieved this by providing strategic and creative thinking across all media, whilst building strong and consistent brands for clients in the public and private sectors from our pen in Cardiff Bay, Wales UK.
It was incredible journey, that we'll never forget.
This blog now stands as a record of it.
Should you wish to get in-touch with either of the companies founders you can find them on twitter:
Neil Asher, Creative Director @NeilMAsher
Jack Bland, Account Director @thejackblandArchive
