CODe is marketing consultancy run by Andy Staples a creative thinker and graphic designer by profession; he's a pretty mean marketer to. His right-hand man is Jerry Found. Jerry knows everything about production and the latest design trends.

Our background has been working for large corporates and educational organisations. Think of us as mainly business to business marketing specialists.

We are small but beautifully formed and can assemble a specialist team at the drop of a hat. We have a great network.

This brings advantages to you. We do not carry heavy overheads and we can get the best talent for you. The days of the mega agency have gone.... even in London...  where I worked in the early eighties!

The business was founded way back in 1989, but really got going in 1990 so we think of 2011 as our official birthday. That was the year CMA Marketing Communications (as we were named then) bought its first Apple Mac SE 40. A 9 inch mono screen marvel with a massive 40mb memory and one of the first in the region.

Most of the team were using Scalpels, Cow Gum and Rotoring pens to draw artwork at that time and our first digital output was a Dobies catalogue for Sutton Seeds. That Mac cost £4000, about the same price as a decent sports car and changed the working practice of every agency studio across the world.

Now we are evolving again, building partnerships with specialists that can deliver world class, but niche services that are essential to the marketing mix and compliment our project management and creative marketing communications skills.

Change is here to stay... as they say.
