Dub’s core team comprises a range of disciplines including design, communication, research, marketing and digital media production and, er, the sciences. What brings us together is our shared passion for collaboration and it’s ability to deliver great innovation and a better way.
Here’s a snapshot of what some of key people have achieved.

Tom has worked for a range of high profile media and consumer based companies including Nokia, Nike, Reuters, MTV, Jamba, SCJohnson, Diageo, Nickleodeon and Turner Entertainment.

Some say he’s the master of niche knowledge. We say Charlie has his finger on the pulse of the digitally connected world. He’s a serial blogging, trend spotting, denim loving, music-making guy that keeps our clients and us at the bleeding edge. Charlie works alongside Tom Watts to define what’s relevant, useful, usable and delightful. If ever have some spare time to kill online, you could do a lot worse than visiting his excellent blog, Tantramar
