Meet the Team

Stuart Graham \ Managing Director

Stuart’s work has taken him around the world. He grew up in London, and after gaining qualifications in English and Law, he worked for three UK radio stations and a healthcare company and the Yellow Pages in Auckland, New Zealand. After a period travelling to Hong Kong and America, he began a career as a writer with a Nottinghamshire newspaper, and then moved on to be lead creative on a glossy lifestyle magazine. He founded Capital Media in 2008 and quickly turned it in to one of the most successful advertising agencies in the region. He loves eating out, travelling the world and drives a Volkswagen Scirocco. Stuart’s ready and waiting to bring his experience in marketing to the table in order to help increase your sales revenue.

Derek Graham \ Project & Finance Director

Derek spent nearly 30 years in a variety of roles at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, the most recent being a project manager. He brings with him a wealth of experience in business planning and finance. Derek is also involved in the promotion of Capital Media’s advertising agency division. In a nutshell, he makes sure the money is coming in and going out in an orderly fashion. Without Derek paying the bills, we wouldn’t be around to manage your advertising! Derek loves cooking and long holidays.

Zoë Ellis \ Graphic Designer

Zoë has worked as a Graphic Designer for over 14 years. Starting out as an apprentice in a design agency based in Portsmouth, she quickly became full member of the design team, managing her own projects through all stages from initial discussions to production of final printed material. After two years she decided to return to education to gain her degree in psychology but realised during that time that her one and only love was design. After a year of travelling the world, she returned to her original career. She moved to the East Midlands where she spent many years working a Senior Designer in Nottingham, before joining Capital as a designer. She loves to design, especially using good photography and would love everyone to understand that “less is more”. She loves travelling, scuba diving, festivals, reading and being creative through various different design and craft activities.

Jenny Graham \ Advertising Administrator

Jenny was born in Camberwell, south London and worked at a bank and a wet fish company before she joined a Central London council as a supervisor to issue residents’ parking permits. After a career break she worked for research company IPSOS Mori and more recently on the 2011 census. After an eclectic career, she has traded the fish, forms and angry car owners for a more stressful job as Capital’s advertising administrator. She keeps the office and its contents organised, so when we need something – we know where to find it (that’s the theory, anyway).
