Dan Gilbert’s Summary
In the summer of 1996, I ended my period of freelance designing in various London based design & marketing agencies, after leaving a Studio Managers role in Richmond 12 months earlier.
Frustrated by all inefficiencies I'd seen, and based on everything I'd learnt, I decided to start my own company. That company was Design Incorporated.
Twelve years on, the company is very different (we became Ltd in 2000).
The aim for Design Inc.'s future is to continue offering results driven design and marketing support to our new and existing customers when promoting their company services or products.
We continue to give our customers the competitive edge through creative, effective and sophisticated promotional communications such as brochures and literature, websites & eshots (both with substantial stats), and all marketing campaigns.
