Her mantra is that even the seemingly dull can fuel a conversation if the idea is brilliant enough (no brand snobbery here!).

Her aim is to expand her experience with a wide spectrum of brands, having thus far worked on events for John Lewis, UnderArmour, giffgaff and Pandora.

Mike Flatley

Mike came to PrettyGreen to help out for a few days in the summer of 2012. Two years later and he’s still here. Mainly because it’s a good deal more interesting than insurance and he’s also still chasing folks to complete their time sheets. He can’t get enough of financial reporting and has a love/hate relationship with Excel.
When not dealing with numbers, he enjoys photography, watching rugby league and wheat beers (drinking, not watching). And when he can escape to the hills, Mike loves mountain biking and hill-walking.

Whilst being excellent with numbers she definitely prefers company drinks to Sage Training (sorry Mike!)

When not working on her love/hate relationship with Excel, Natasha is a playwright, currently writing a play about deep space and black holes with The Soho Theatre.

Either way, to get away from the computer screen she can be found pounding the streets or cycling to the nearest view point so she can wave around her beloved cameras that she likes to pretend to know how to use.

Nicola Hunter

Having graduated university with a degree in art, Nicola tried her hand at a few career paths before finding her way to PrettyGreen and the world of Studio management. Joining in 2014 she started on Front of House, however having proved it was too dangerous to have her near a phone she was welcomed in to the open arms of the PrettyGreen Studio where she can’t cause as much damage…surely? 

Terrible at sports, unless it’s an Adam Sandler movie marathon (which deserves a medal) she’s very good at rum drinking and irrational clothes purchasing and is happiest when spending time with her dog Biggie.
