UNISON
Media.

Ian Fearnley

Ian co-founded Unison Media in 1999 with the express purpose of enabling clients to profit from personalised solutions from senior professionals. More than ten years on and he’s just as excited by this approach which lets clients who are new to the market or have modest budgets, to reap the same level of expertise as benefits the big brand names.

His breadth and depth of experience allows him to provide a realistic insight into what delivers the right results. Although he’s already an accomplished expert in the industry, with over 25 years of planning and implementing effective campaigns, he believes there are always opportunities to refine skills and learn new things.

His philosophy is that the traditional and the innovative can complement each other, that it’s important to look beyond the obvious, that creativity and analytical skills go hand in hand, and that campaigns ought to be embedded in business strategy.
