Nat, one of the founders of the agency, has been involved with the media in various guises for more than a decade. He works extensively in TV & Radio as a broadcaster and writer, and is also the managing partner of Intelligent Digital, for which he oversees all creative content and production.

He challenges his team to think for a living, and to distance themselves from, in no particular order: mediocrity, pomposity, cliché and the collected works of Dan Brown. His heroes are TS Eliot, Jim Henson and John Candy.

Joanne has more than 10 years experience in PR, initially working as a film publicist before co-founding Intelligent. Directing media accounts and specialising in the Fashion sector, Joanne delivers high-level strategic planning and consultation for clients and oversees all media activity across the agency.

Although not technically a comedienne, Jo believes she is 100 times funnier than her business partner Nat! This frequently turns out to be the case, though not always intentionally.

As one of the most experienced members of the Intelligent team, Lara has worked in many areas of the media, including production and development at the BBC. She is also an experienced copywriter, having produced scripts and marketing material.

Lara loves (in no particular order) words, scuba diving, the countryside, her deaf English Bull Terrier, who is called Piglet, and the name Holden. She predicts that Burmese cuisine will be the next big thing, which has nothing to do with her being half-Burmese.

Having studied History at Leeds University, Marion has strong skills in analysis and evaluation, and can speak Spanish. Her work on the Media team particularly supports digital and events based activity and she also assists the partners on various projects.

Marion loves discovering quirky street art, listening to Bob Dylan on her record player and eating smarties.

After studying Journalism at university, Carla launched her career in fashion PR over 6 years ago. She specialises in all areas of fashion, from high street to designer, and has initiated projects ranging from catwalk shows to press dinners, seasonal strategies to one-off projects.

Carla's obsession is shoes - she owns over 200 pairs - but she isn't your typical fashion girl as she also loves surfing and snowboarding.

Having set up his first business at the tender age of fifteen, Oli subesquently developed and ran a successful youth marketing agency which was absorbed into the Chime group. He now works on managing the reputation and profile of Intelligent, as well as being the ear to the ground for new business opportunities.

Oli bears a striking resemblance to comedian and actor Will Ferrell, and ironically enjoys an occasional glass of Scotch.

A recognised face on the London scene, Lauren’s experience lies in networking and events, having worked at a number of the capital’s leading venues over the years.

Lauren has a love for the Classical World and Arts, and used to dance with the Royal Ballet. She thinks the world would be a better place if we all went back to basics and is (already) looking forward to retiring to Ibiza.

Fluent in Japanese and with an English degree under her belt, Kitty is the linguist of the agency and one of the more senior members of the team. Recently she has channeled her copywriting skills towards the digital landscape, and currently heads up the online team, devising creative campaigns for her clients.

Kitty likes discovering esoteric magazines in the agency’s media library and spending time with her chinchilla. Her pet hates are mainly grammatical errors. Her guilty pleasures include Total Garage Vol. 2 and The Blue Posts.

Niralie is a key member of the Lifestyle Media team at Intelligent and her agency work over the years has led her to represent some of London's leading restaurants. She has a strong understanding of what the media wants and how to present ideas in a fluent, engaging and relevant manner.

Niralie is obsessed with cheese, earning her family nickname of "rodent". She also loves Disney movies and Lionel Richie and is hanging on for the ultimate : a Disney movie starring Lionel Richie.

Luke helps drive the digital developments at the agency using his extensive understanding of new media, and ensures that each client benefits from the most appropriate and up to date activity.

Luke has been wearing glasses since the age of two, resulting in sustained ribbing from his 3 brothers for most of his life. Good thing that he’s a black belt in both Karate and Ju-Jitsu, then.

As part of the Creative Team, Joe deals with Intelligent's work in design, illustration, film, photography and the web. His focus is on making his work beautiful, yet conceptually sound.

A fan of all types of printed matter, Joe enjoys drawing peculiar creatures and reading old comic books in his spare time. He is not at all ashamed of the fact, that as a youth, he became obsessed with two tone ska and tried to adopt the dress sense of a rudeboy.

The Fashion intern will act as the main support for the Fashion Account Manager. Work will include handling the showroom and media involvement.

Media work will include liaising with journalists, creating e-shots, reading magazines for coverage and pulling looks for stories.

Studying Marketing in Hong Kong, Karmen is now exploring the PR world in London. She works closely with the Food & Drink Account Manager on a range of client campaigns. She also helps with local business marketing, database management, project research, and event management.

“Life is a journey, not a destination” is a mantra that she tries to live by. Karmen’s next plan is to visit Germany, Spain, Italy and France. Hopefully, there’s a journey to be had in those destinations.

Having studied Zoology at Newcastle University, Sam is the Digital intern at the agency. He supports the Digital team by working on clients social media accounts and researching developments in the digital landscape.

Sam considers himself to be a semi-professional skier, having spent two winter seasons in France. This would be true if he hadn’t also had to endure two operations for injuries caused during this time.

After studying Product Design and Graphic Design, Andy is now working as Intelligent's Creative Intern. He works with the Creative Team, assisting across all clients, from pre-print to online, as well as researching and getting handy with the camera.

Away from design he has spent many of his recent years strapped to a snowboard. Andy is pleased to report that the last bone broken was miles from the snow at a wedding in London. This is where he hit the deck shoulder first, attempting an over ambitious leg kick on the dance floor.
