advertising
Way back in time when he still had some hair, mpad’s managing director, Mark Picken, went to Falmouth College of Arts to study advertising.
Specialising as a copywriter, Mark and his art director partner even had the honour of being banned for entering a student award competition because their advert for Gala Bingo was deemed ‘too rude’.
Anyway, Mark has put all that behind him and uses his smoking keyboard copywriting skills to good use to create fantastically creative words to sell products and services. And when combined with mpad’s designer Matt Hollands’ killer visuals the dynamic duo know how to use a budget to put products and services well and truly on the map.

Alverton Manor: “Local food from down the road”
The Alverton Manor in Truro prides itself on its excellent food, using the best quality ingredients, many of which come from the hotel’s back garden!
Working with images by Cornwall’s established food photographer David Griffen, mpad created advertising artwork to promote the Alverton’s rustic charm, superb menu and revamped restaurant.
