Welcome to Northern Skies Ltd, a creative agency headed up by award-winning
industry expert and creative director Dave Pannell.
We use a hands-on experience-lead approach. Graphic design isn’t
about art, it’s about providing a solution. Marketing isn’t about
consulting, it’s about doing.
design & marketing
for private & public sector
Having worked with everyone from the BBC to Harrods over the past 15 years, we are uniquely placed to bring the experience gained from large public and private organisations to your project.
By using a modern and fluid organisational structure we are able to create a bespoke team to work on any size of project, from short-term or one-off design projects right through to high-budget long-term contracts. We hold both public (£5m) and employer (£10m) liability insurance.
design & marketing
for charities & non-commercial
Continuing to work with charities and non-commercial organisations has always been an important part of what we do.
Having worked alongside high-profile charities like the Ramblers Association through to local voluntary organisations working in the arts and with young people, we offer our services at a massively reduced rate to this sector.
From simply producing logos and websites to ongoing newsletters, we’re always happy to have that initial chat.
design industry
consultation, education & speaking
Dave Pannell is a known industry expert and regularly gives talks on the design industry. His viewpoint is based firmly on design being a business not a creative pastime, backed-up by his experience of heading-up a number of agencies, including his co-directorship of one of the North’s fastest growing design companies.
Dave also works as a consultant to colleges and universities helping them make their course content relevant to the design industry - for which he was awarded the WYLLN employer award.
