Clegg leaves Rufus Leonard to focus full time on Lavish development

Stacey Clegg has stood down as head of Project Management at brand and digital agency Rufus Leonard, to focus on developing her rapidly expanding creative services business, Lavish Associates.

Trading since 2001, Lavish brings together all disciplines of traditional and digital creative services under one roof, and can either locate resources within the client’s premises or use its own in-house team.

Areas of expertise include creative production, high-end retouching, purchasing and print management, rich media, online and flash asset production and CGI/3D visualisations. In addition to this, Lavish can access a wide range of partners and affiliates to deliver every time of creative project.

“Recent experiences have demonstrated to me that there is a definite gap in the market for a pure creative services specialist. It is without question that the advertising and DM agencies are great at originating the big ideas, but when it comes to the implementation of the day-by-day creative work that’s the cornerstone of most brands, they are less effective.

Obviously clients have built strong relationships with their leading agencies, but internal pressures mean that marketing and brand managers are constantly looking at ways to maximise their budgets, by finding cost effective ways to actually deliver their creative work”, comments Stacey.

“This is where Lavish comes in. Our team are experts in our field and can provide high-end creative services direct to clients or their agencies at a fraction of the cost. This means our direct clients get big agency experience at production house pricing, and our agency clients can utilise a trusted, specialist resource.”

Stacey Clegg is Managing Director of Lavish.
