marketing agency.
Ishmael Borg
Art Director & Founder
Ishmael believes that you are born an artist and not taught… and an artist for sure he is! Ishmael started sketching at a young age and he still does it on every single job. For him the Mac is just a tool because every idea should start on paper. You’ll hear him preaching this every day!
A retired Hooker, no not what you are thinking! He spent 10 years playing Rugby which is his passion. During scrums he played in the front row, with the role of ‘hooking’ the ball back with the foot. When not at work, you’ll find him in his garden harvesting his crops, bidding to extend his pipe collection, travelling, or enjoying good food and wine.
Yasmine Formosa
Head of Design
Our Mama Bear (PURE awards title winner for taking care of her office babies). When she’s not bossing her colleagues around, you will probably find her at the bar … either at a Prosecco bar or the one she uses to lift her weights, where she will probably be deadlifting a few of us (in terms of weight) at one go.
#NoFilter is not only one of Instagram’s most popular hashtags but also a mantra Yasmine lives by. Apart from design, Yasmine enjoys event organising especially to keep us at the office in shape (round is a shape isn’t it?).
Mike Saliba
Account Manager
Mike is a music aficionado who is entirely too enthusiastic about Greek mythology and eSports. Although vinyl records have been outlawed for being too much awesome sauce, at a young age Mike decided to secretly collect his favourite bands’ LPs.
Following his Degree, Mike dreams that one day he becomes a marketing guru in order for him to defeat his mortal enemies: #repetitiveness #oldfashioned #boringcontent #voldemort
Michelle Melissa Scotto
Brand & Digital Creative
From makeup and fashion enthusiast to history geek, you can’t keep up with what Michelle is currently up to. Mention any trending series, and she would most probably provide you with a mini review and synopsis – because just like with everything else, she tries to be ahead of the hype.
This 5 ft 4 midget is highly opinionated when it comes to aesthetics and English – but just might be bribed with a pepperoni pizza. With a degree in English and Communication Studies, Michelle set out to venture into the marketing world with a knack for social media and influencer marketing – and additionally a vigor for writing.
Cynthia Chircop
Designer
Cynthia is a fun-sized bespectacled creative, coffee addict, film buff and designer with a sweet tooth. A social justice warrior with a desire to make the world a better place, she believes that design can change the world, and like spectacles, it is a needed solution to a visual and communication problem.
Her love for design and storytelling started from comics and illustration at an early age, but she got into design formally much later. Starting in sciences, she majored in chemistry at University but afterward went to MCAST to pursue graphic design. She cannot make meth, sorry Breaking Bad fans, but her background has given her a logical and scientific view to design; this coupled with her creative side gets a little bit crazy sometimes.
Ian Attard
Senior Designer
Ian is a self-thought, Instagram crazed photographer who loves working on branding projects and seeing his work appreciated by clients and other creatives alike! After all, there’s nothing like peers supporting one another.
When he’s not snapping photographs with his coveted camera or at his desk designing, you can catch Ian keeping up to date with the latest design trends and photography styles. Mind you, if it’s around 6 PM you might spot him chasing sunsets to get that perfect instagramable shot!
Jurgen Psaila
Junior Designer
Our dreaded Rastafarian, although his looks show that textbook look, Jurgen’s is slightly different from what you might think.
Both an introvert and an extrovert, it kind of depends on the situation. He’s quite a highly motivated and hardworking individual, that loves traveling and unexpected adventures, electronic music and anything related to beautiful soundwaves and audiovisuals. Of course, we can’t not mention that he’s a dog person and responsible for our frequent coffee outage.
Isaac Spiteri
Junior Digital Executive
The youngest in the office and he’d probably like to say the wittiest as well! Our resident football expert and an avid TV series watcher. If it’s on Netflix he’s probably watched it or didn’t like it. Thank you, next. Once said that Friends is overrated which caused an office meltdown. True story.
Growing up in the digital age and taking care of his friends’ Facebook pages, he has a knack for social media and digital marketing. With a degree in Communications and European Studies and a background in history and geography, he’s quite the all-rounder (not so much shape-wise)
Did we mention he’s a dog person?
Roxanne Testa
Designer
You know the classic saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Well, this precisely applies for Roxanne! Don’t let her shy and quiet nature deceive you – just a few minutes into a conversation she’ll have you splitting your sides with a good laugh.
Going out is always on the agenda for this bubbly fire cracker, but just about balances out her love for clean design and a well balanced layout who’s heart and soul lies in editorial design. She also enjoys a little bit of fun with beauty related products, especially with new makeup launches! Not to mention, in her downtime she slots in a little cheeky Netflix binge to catch up on the latest episodes (don’t we all?).
Gianluca Vella Valletta
Marketing Executive
Did you know that the most expensive tea in the world originates from the Chinese Wuyi Mountains? Neither did we. But that’s the sort of random fact that you’ll hear from our walking encyclopaedia Gianluca, whilst sharing with us the fact of the day.
Ever since he joined the office, lets say the food delivery guys have become a bit synonymous with our offices. Gianluca never shies away from a challenge and that’s the attitude he brings to the table when it comes to marketing strategies.
