Strengthening our in-house team

GEL Studios strengthens its inhouse team and celebrates internal progression as part of its ambitious five-year growth strategy.

Purpose-led creative agency GEL Studios has welcomed three new team members and announced an internal promotion as it continues to accelerate its ambitious five-year growth plan.

The B-Corp Certified agency, based in Swindon, is known for building long-term partnerships with SMEs, combining strategic thinking with creative execution to deliver measurable success. GEL studios’ in-house team specialises in elevating brand identities, designing pixel-perfect visuals, building user-focused websites, and developing marketing strategies that drive sustained results.

Dani Wilkinson, joining as Senior Creative, brings nearly a decade of experience to the team. Wilkinson's career has spanned a diverse range of creative projects, from website and app design to social media graphics, campaigns, and print media, showcasing her ability to deliver inspiring and impactful digital design solutions.

Robbie Climance has been appointed as Marketing Executive, bringing strong experience in social media management and paid advertising. With a particular focus on social media strategy and Meta Ads, Climance combines hands-on expertise with creative thinking to deliver fresh and impactful campaigns. Having started his career as a Digital Marketing Apprentice, over the past five years he has built a wide-ranging skill set across email marketing, graphic design, and brand consistency, underpinned by a genuine passion for helping clients grow.

Mariah Roberts also joins GEL Studios as a Website Developer, further expanding the agency’s digital expertise into high-quality, bespoke WordPress development. Detail-oriented and proactive, Roberts thrives on moments that challenge developers to think differently using code in imaginative ways to elevate websites.

The agency is also celebrating the internal promotion of Elisha Elliott, who has stepped into the role of Senior Creative. Having been with GEL Studios for seven years, Elisha has grown from a post-university graduate into a senior position within the team. Her new role has been strategically created to provide a dedicated creative resource for GEL Studios’ extensive portfolio of good cause, non-profit, community, and charity design projects.

In September, GEL studios introduced a Vestd employee ownership scheme, allocating 30% of the agency to both current and future team members. By giving its team a genuine stake in the company’s success, the employee ownership scheme enhances its competitiveness in attracting top talent while nurturing a culture where individuals feel inspired to deliver their best work. The agency is keen to talk to talented individuals who would like to join them and be part of the agency's growth over the next five years.

Founder, Graeme Leighfield, said:

“At GEL Studios, we’re proud to have built a fully in-house team. We don’t outsource or rely on freelancers, something I’m deeply passionate about, and which is rare in our industry.

“Over the past decade, we’ve brought together an ambitious group of specialists who are genuinely committed to helping clients achieve their goals. I’m thrilled to welcome Dani, Mariah and Robbie to the team and I’m confident they’ll make a significant contribution to the success of our clients, both now and in the future.”
