Our background
Simon Shaw launched Optima in 1995. With firm roots in the print industry and a background strong in brand and corporate identity built from working in a large London agency. Optima was set up when Simon surveyed the alternatives and felt he could create a much stronger agency built on his London experience. Today Optima is run in a similar style to many London agencies, with the philosophy of creativity, hard work ethic and can do atitude.
Optima flourished thanks to the talented team of professionals we brought together and nurtured in our design studio, the investment we have made in up-to-the-minute technology - and our philosophy of working in close partnership with our clients.
In 2001 we introduced new media services to compliment our print portfolio and we invested in training and recruiting professionals to offer solid, practical but exciting digital solutions. Operating from Lincoln the business has established itself as one of the most impressive graphic design and new media agencies in the region.
Optima is aiming to become a top 100 design agency.
