Robert Sargent's Experience
Director
Make Digital
Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Online Media industry
November 2008 – Present (3 years 3 months)
I co-founded Make Digital in October 2008 to provide technical production services to digital creative agencies. We took a smart and innovative approach to the way we collaborated with our clients, developing new frameworks and processes to manage and deliver on ambitious technical briefs.
Since its inception, Make Digital has worked with the likes of B-Reel, Digit, Everywhere, Hi-ReS!, Play, Sennep and Syzygy on projects for several high-profile brands including Airwaves, Burberry, Forevermark, LG, Nokia, Cheestrings, Natwest, Shell and Telegraph.
Senior Flash Developer
Mook
Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Online Media industry
November 2007 – October 2008 (1 year)
At Mook I worked as part of a four-strong team of Flash Developers responsible for producing cutting-edge online experiences for brands such as Ballantine’s, Drambuie, Foot Locker and Mars.
I planned and instituted a framework which provides a scaffold for the rapid development of Flash-based web content by small teams of developers. The framework’s flexible architecture supports a wide range of applications, from large-scale Rich Internet Applications to Flash widgets, and places a great deal of importance on accessibility and searchability.
I was also responsible for coaching graduates who took part in Mook’s annual ActionScript Boot Camp, which we introduced in July 2008.
Lead Flash Developer
Saffron Interactive
Privately Held; 11-50 employees; E-Learning industry
November 2006 – October 2007 (1 year)
Working at Saffron introduced me to a wide range of development practices and methodologies.
Here I acted as a technical lead on a range of media-rich e-learning packages for several of the world’s largest businesses including BT, KPMG, Microsoft, O2 and Vodafone.
My role required me to develop strong project management skills and liaise with clients on a regular basis.
