  • Organic. Flexible. Creative.

    Sono Advertising (est 2003) was founded on the belief that the days of the traditional agency structure are now outdated, opening the doors to a new breed of independent design studio – organic, flexible, creative, striving to bring you direct lines of communication,
    connecting your brand
    with your designer.

    As an award winning Creative Director with 15 years design experience, and having held senior creative titles within Adelaide’s leading design & brand management studios, you can be assured your brand is in experienced hands.

    With formal qualifications in Information Technology (Bch Degree), Commercial Art, Visual Art, Graphic Design & Advertising, I have been sourced by TAFE to lecture
    in Typography Design and
    to deliver corporate training using the Adobe Creative Software suite.

    I design, develop & think outside the square and believe that design is more
    than simple aesthetics but rather creative strategy with
    a focus on brand building.

    I strive to clearly deliver your message and create an impact in your chosen medium, while ensuring your brand remains
    consistent & is well perceived.

    Design disciplines include:
    > Brand Management
    > Brand Development
    > Advertising
    > Creative Direction
    > Copywriting
    > Flash Animation
    > Graphic Design
    > New Media Design

  • Structured. Cohesive. Productive.

    I believe design is more than simple aesthetics but rather creative strategy with a focus on brand building. The successful execution of an advertising campaign is a combination and cohesion of research, strategy, substance and creativity, coupled of course with a brilliant idea!

    My methodology is for my clients to have a clear understanding of the design process in order to establish a productive working relationship. By utilising a comprehensive 5 stage process I ensure a structured and cohesive work process is maintained. This process remains organic and is flexible to suit its medium (eg: print, online, outdoor).

    Sids and Kids

    As a small organisation in competition with the many other worthy charities, it is vital that SIDS and Kids present an image to the community that highlights our services as well as fundraising activities.

    Alex has done a fantastic job of setting up the SIDS and Kids South Australian Website, re-designed the look of our bi-annual Newsletter, and developed a 30th year anniversary logo that embraces what we are about and can be adapted to fit any event or activity.

    Alex has a unique talent, a real feel for the needs of her clients, and her manner of communication ensures a smooth and hassle free process.

    Smart Health

    Smart Health Training and Services first consulted with Sono Advertising with the view to update it’s brand and image. Being an allied health business we needed a brand that presented amongst other things as professional, modern and caring. Alex has always been completely professional in her approach. Responses to requests are prompt and work is always completed on time and in budget. Alex took the time when we first started to work with Sono Advertising to get to know our business and subsequently has been able to fit the brand and image with the business seamlessly. As our relationship with Sono Advertising has continued and strengthened we feel ever so confident in Sono Advertising’s ability to not only meet our requests but exceed our expectations.
