One of Sheffield’s longest established creative agencies has boosted its team with the appointment of business, photography and design expert, Jana Kukebal.

Grey Matter has welcomed Jana to the newly created role of Studio Assistant, after experiencing an exceptionally busy year with increasing demand for its renowned design, digital and photography services.

Jana – who speaks five languages including Russian, Estonian and German - has held previous roles as a business development manager, SEO manager and is an internationally published fashion photographer.

She has taken on a broad and varied workload in her new role, utilising her expansive skillset to offer creative solutions to clients as well as helping to manage Grey Matter’s busy studio.

Jana was looking for a new challenge when she came across the opportunity at Grey Matter and was attracted to the variety of the role. She explains,

“I have always been a creative person and was therefore looking for a position where I could combine both my creativity with my business administration skills. The position of a studio assistant in a dynamic and innovative marketing agency was a great choice for me as it means that there is no such thing as ‘routine work’.”

As it approaches its 30th anniversary in 2020, the company’s client base continues to grow with more national and international work being undertaken than ever before.

Senior Account Manager, Brendan Hampsey, comments:

“With almost 30 years’ experience under our belts, we have a solid reputation for brand, promotion, creative and digital. We are now growing our team in response to increased demand for our services and we are delighted to be attracting more and more clients further afield across the UK and Europe.”

He continues,

“Jana’s skills are a perfect fit for us as we handle such a variety of creative projects, and in a busy studio like ours, her creative, administration and facilities management skills are already proving invaluable. We are extremely happy to have her here and as we look to 2020, with some exciting plans in the making, we can’t wait to expand our team further.”
