Background

About Rob Coke

As Founding Partner at Output, I have a deep understanding of brands built up over twenty years driving their growth. I set up the agency to ‘make great work for interesting people’, and established a team culture balancing challenge and support, to push that work from strength to strength. As a key partner to our clients, I’ve led brand overhauls for the Government’s Innovate UK and Sony PlayStation. I helped BBC Sport become a more coherent and relevant cross-platform brand, and oversaw a major rebrand for BBC Cymru Wales. With a background spanning design, strategy and client relationships, I combine the problem-solving methodology of a designer with an empathic understanding of customer hopes and fears. I believe bold ideas can only thrive when clients embrace them, and devote my time to helping them make the leap, through thought-provoking content and practical advice. I write about design and branding in the press, and I’ve spoken at events as far afield as Dublin, New York and Beijing. Away from my day job I’m a UEFA C-qualified football coach. I volunteer as Head of Coach Development at Hove Park Colts, a grassroots club with 360 boys and girls playing in teams from U7–U17.
