This mysterious carving, whose origins are unknown, perfectly captures our philosophy and the spirit we bring as an agency partner. ## Leadership team - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-phil-coverdale.jpg?bossToken=9787c99636026403f606690556498a3dae19b0eed8c2bec06481e23ba8fc528e) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-phil-coverdale.jpg?bossToken=41d60cd47dc10ea44717fcbce8e9bf37ef9996b4949a140609c9725c4f1c254d) ### Phil Coverdale CEO - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-coverdale-07a8933/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-lauren-henley.jpg?bossToken=bf0312c29d0cffa272a059a171fa47420c05582d83aa33390ddfc5efd8240aac) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/444/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-lauren-henley.jpg?bossToken=baf9dcb4e86a8cdae198e7884eb513a59922951388ef8e6351658329b35f0d24) ### Lauren Henley Head of Account Management - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-henley/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-guy-lambert.jpg?bossToken=d60150f903b0a3108ab44e83a6b5a2c168fea93f3ff459d2d2e2cfd1ec2a6b99) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-guy-lambert.jpg?bossToken=1c7a1850ff0d9bf9e2bca57fe6db3901f742feb656f07aed02ed0204b72fd3f3) ### Guy Lambert Head of Strategy - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/guy-lambert-2a79b87/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-jenna-bedingham.jpg?bossToken=b5146be06d5eed625adfe4e70604e0669bfbc3dca8ee66e8fb35103eaa33339d) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-jenna-bedingham.jpg?bossToken=69a2b95a447ee9663c5a7e148e1c77ec093f3aded3670f5ce5d452692419cfeb) ### Jenna Bedingham Head of Delivery - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenna-bedingham-2b327717a/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:80,format:webp/production/uploads/team/team-owen-roberts.png?bossToken=17a1ab27c68c2ffcc2c5c26e35da92a1fb86bb7b9fe5f6bc76962cff75e72abe) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-owen-roberts.png?bossToken=9cea081023467aed172e565ea88132321906f7586a6313a4f45648c9e4bb7ad1) ### Owen Roberts Executive Creative Director - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hiowen/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-stephen-carroll.jpg?bossToken=437d6038d7a9f085954cd31a23421d8b65ca51294603d7b73dd80bd70c7f1f53) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-stephen-carroll.jpg?bossToken=9e84b3e6e244b8e1306975c94d978532bf7828d27ab59b1b932ab78f33d04861) ### Stephen Carroll Executive Creative Director - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-carroll-98b90b31/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-emma-wafer.jpg?bossToken=816809b420752a832493928ff13e72d34abae6a6447e19926e34e5217fe84bc0) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-emma-wafer.jpg?bossToken=4d13a0b86b441dd37241a5b99a207a5bbc3897d79cba0f173caf9b9b32a7d7af) ### Emma Wafer Account Director - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouisedunn/) - ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/24/quality:35,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-andrew-kidger.jpg?bossToken=c7fb660d916904a0f2fc90a48b9e647c8f5f84e15e1b17fcfdf493083927f1c6) ![](https://img.imageboss.me/cravens/width/960/quality:80,format:jpg/production/uploads/team/team-andrew-kidger.jpg?bossToken=81c425dd2139426ec8a2610a51d82bb5d65b8dd9f596c6788c6882d8207b784f) ### Andrew Kidger Head of Production and Partnerships - [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-kidger-448a0b4/) ## Built in Newcastle.
