John Hartley is a designer by training with 25 years experience in the graphics industry. He established Hartley & Hartley in 1978 and moved to the Printoff Graphic Arts Group in January 2003 to head up and develop the creative resources for the whole group by establishing a new studio, Concept 4 Creative. An independent office was formed at Printoff, John Hartley Associates Limited, to give extra flexibility of working but still having access to studio and print production.
Corporate and marketing strategy and its interpretation into project planning and implementation is a particular passion.
John has a keen interest in the internet and its value to clients has been incorporated into both corporate and marketing strategies and projects, co-ordinating it with campaigns in other media.
