Claire Scantlebury

By day I’m Marketing Manager for Cardiff based digital agency Sequence and am responsible for organising and managing Cardiff Web Scene, I also run Ignite Cardiff and TEDxCardiff with Neil Cocker. My evenings and weekends are spent renovating my house, spending time with my fabulous husband and teenager and my two neurotic cats. Although I currently work at a digital agency I originally studied media and business before working at leading Cardiff graphic design house Peter Gill & Associates for eight years as Account Manager. Whilst there I was responsible for working on and managing a wide variety of projects from DM, branding, exhibitions, PoS, corporate and award-winning promotional print through to on-line and above-the-line advertising. This was followed by three years as Account Manager at Cardiff and London based web development agency Box UK where I worked with FTSE100 companies as well as a number or public and private sector organisations. I was also responsible for being the only Welsh agency to secure a commission from the BBC during the 2008 Innovation labs. I’m passionate about the online space and specialise in Social Media. I also have an unhealthy love of print (I like to sniff brochures – it’s a paper/ ink thing!) and am addicted to running events! Collaboration, networking, events of any kind and generally doing really cool stuff with amazing people is something that I’m incredibly passionate about. If you’ve got an idea or a project that you’d like to chat about or if you’re interested in getting involved in Ignite or TED (we’re always looking for volunteers, speakers and sponsors) drop me a line. A couple of other little facts about me, although I work in Cardiff I live on Barry Island, yes that’s right, home of Gavin & Stacey, numerous fish & chip shops and the infamous log flume! I also like a bit of photographising now and again and I usually upload my pics to flickr.
