Darren Endicott
Account Manager
“I love a challenging brief, I love underpinning solutions with clear thinking, and I still love the feel and smell of print.”
I began my career in advertising before moving into publishing, joining Future Publishing – the largest employer of designers in Bath at the time – where I built a strong foundation as an Art Director across magazines and branded editorial platforms. Over time, my focus expanded from shaping visual narratives to understanding the commercial objectives behind them. At Future Publishing, I worked across sport, lifestyle, and business titles during a period of rapid growth, later relocating to Sydney to help launch the Australian arm of the business as Creative Director.
Back in London, I joined Ink Global as Launch Art Director for Eurostar’s Metropolitan, delivering a fashion and culture publication for on-board trains. As Group Art Director at Think Publishing, I led the business and professional division, art directing CMI’s Professional Manager, which won PPA Designer of the Year in the business magazine category.
Alongside editorial publishing, I have delivered corporate reporting, brand development and integrated campaigns for organisations including AstraZeneca, HSBC, INEOS, Sage and the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.
At Parker Design, my role evolved into a hybrid position spanning creative leadership and client services. As projects grew in scale and complexity, I took on responsibility for budgets, timelines, stakeholder engagement and strategic briefing, transitioning fully into account management.
Today, I translate briefs into brand-aligned, goal-driven solutions, combining creative understanding with commercial awareness to build strong client relationships and deliver measurable results.
Outside work, when my daughter allows, I’m usually training for long-distance runs, playing guitar, or adding another record to my steadily growing vinyl collection.
