What people are saying about us.

I have worked with Elle and her Creative Collective over many years. Not only do they produce brilliant ideas and execute them flawlessly, but they bring maturity, humanity and a truly collaborative approach to every project: proactive in their ideas and thinking, super-efficient in developing the work, and excellent communicators throughout the process. It is no surprise to me that their impressive client list is expanding as others discover the positive experience of working with the Creative Collective.

The Creative Collective were recommended to me for a corporate PowerPoint deck and from the very first call with Elle I felt like I’d struck gold. Every interaction with Elle and her wonderful designers (Hanna and Jo) was an absolute pleasure and their understanding and delivery of the briefs was brilliant. They were so easy to work with and made tight timings work. Elle’s approach is really refreshing, she is so efficient yet makes it feel like anything is possible, and it’s clear the designers at the collective have a lot of respect and love working with her. They will be my absolute go-to agency from now on!

The Creative Collective is a women-led creative production company headed by the inimitable Elle Iannaccone. I worked alongside Elle and her world-class network of talented creatives as a freelance CD/copywriter.
What an inspiring bunch of people! Not only do they produce great work, but they also go about business the right way. They're smart, agile, dedicated, and - most importantly - nice.
Respect and trust are at the core of everything they do. They care deeply about each other and their clients. And that makes the Creative Collective unique. They're more than a team: they make the business of making creative work a pleasure.

Lee Healey, Creative Director, Disney+ EMEA

As a Studio Manager, I have hired Elle Iannaccone as a freelance designer at both Discovery Networks and BBC Studios over the course of the last 3+ years. Elle is a talented designer who is diligent and thoughtful. She’s always been a pleasure to work with, and well respected by our clients and producers who have worked with her across a wide range of print and digital design work. The Creative Collective she now runs is an added bonus to her services whenever I am in need of freelance support. When we need additional resource, Elle is able to offer me suitable and skilled designers from her pool of talent. This has been a great help, especially with last-minute requests!

Elle Iannaccone is our absolute go-to person when it comes to elegant corporate design work. She understands our needs and can build design systems that allow us to communicate both effectively and with style. She navigates the demands of a fast-paced media company effortlessly and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Recommend!

— Emma Cassidy, Director of Strategy & Client Service, Discovery Creative London

Elle Iannaccone is a fantastic designer who you can rely on 100% to create visually stunning work that adheres tightly to a brief. She’s a pleasure to work with – even under tight, pressured deadlines, she ensures that each project stays on course. She never loses sight of what the overarching brief is trying to achieve. Given the breadth of her experience across a number of sectors, I would not hesitate to recommend Elle’s work. Every time, she has extended bigger projects beyond the creative brief. We have seen consistent, quality results under Elle’s direction.

— Martin Gear, Director, D2C Product, Discovery Channel

I have had the pleasure of commissioning Elle and the Creative Collective to collaborate on many design projects over the past few years, always with great success. On each occasion, her talent, professionalism and creativity have shone through brightly. Long may it continue.

— Steven Aspinall, former Head of Design, Formula E; Head of Creative, BBC Worldwide

I have never received so many compliments on presentation materials! Elle’s work makes our materials look incredibly sophisticated and slick; she stays true to our brand and delivers the work quickly and efficiently. An added bonus is that she is great to work with and takes the time to understand exactly what we are trying to communicate. I highly recommend her and her work to anyone!

— Kelly Cooke, Partnership and Sales Manager, Formula E

Clare Ferguson has a fantastic eye for design and a truly admirable work ethic. Every launch team needs a spine of people prepared to go the extra mile, and on Stylist Clare was certainly part of that critical group. A very popular member of the team at Shortlist Media, Clare made a huge contribution to the successful launch and establishment of Stylist.

— Suzanne Sykes, Brand Creative Director, former Creative Director at the Sunday Times Style and Elle UK

Clare Ferguson worked in the in-house Creative Studio team at Coach’s headquarters in New York City. She quickly gained an understanding of how to implement her strong editorial skills into a more commercial environment. She used data and analytics to help guide her design decisions, but also maintain the aesthetic of the Coach brand. She is a strong leader and empowers the team to work hard and achieve results. Her friendly, bubbly nature makes her very likeable, and she is extremely collaborative and hardworking. I always felt she gave 110%.

Clare is an incredible creative director and design lead, and has been instrumental in shaping unique brand identities across the projects she works on.

— Jo Baldwin, VP Global Head of Creative Studio, Coach, NY

Helen Grassi is always willing to offer her design assistance and skill, and has an excellent rapport with the many stakeholders served by our studio. She would be an asset to any employer and I recommend her for any endeavour she chooses to pursue. 

— Dan Tomlinson, Engagement & Promotions, Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

Having hired Helen to work at PSPRare as a designer, I was very impressed with her knowledge and awareness of design, and how this was transformed into beautiful crafted design for clients that included Kia Motors and BHF. During her time at PSPRare, Helen made an excellent contribution to leading the BHF title and was promoted to Designer from Junior Designer. Over all, Helen was a talented and wonderful designer to work with.

Claire Hearn is a joy to work with: always thorough and professional, she has the experience and flair to expertly craft copy so that it’s accurate and engaging. She’ll confidently turn her hand to any copy-editing task, and her meticulous nature and hardworking attitude ensures you’ll receive a top job, every time. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her for even the most complex of copy-editing projects.

— Nicola Moyne, former Brand Copy Chief, Marie Claire UK

Elle Iannaccone is my go-to for beautiful, feminine design. Her use of colour, space and typography inspires me and always complements what I’m trying to achieve visually. She thinks outside the box, then brings it back to a workable concept that heroes the product or story on the table at the time. Suffice to say, I love her work.
