Background

wildea at it’s core.

Hi I’m Gemma Jones,

The person behind the wild idea.
Walking around my local town centre, I discussed with my partner, my excitement at the sight of more start-ups. I was also dismayed by the amount of businesses that had closed up shop. With a head full of ideas and desire to be able to help, I thought here’s a wild idea… why not do just that - help!

Over the last 14 years, I have worked with many businesses, charities, and friends to help bring their ideas to life and help them find success.
Whilst my job roles, locations and hair colour have changed many times over the years, there was always one constant - developing, designing and implementing brand identities.

My passion is helping others and utilising my experience in business management, project strategy and graphic design to help others succeed. Having studied business studies and adventure education and management (University of Glasgow), with many years of experince working with a wide range of people and projects, 14 years of experience working with companies to improve their business strategies, logo design, printed and digital materials, course provision, learning experiences, community app development, photography, video editing, social media presence, websites and more, I know that I have right experience, positive track record and connections that can help others to also see growth and succeed!

This year, I had the wild idea to start wildea. A brand identity company that works with people to help find branding solutions, that will help their great ideas and products reach and engage with their target audience. I truly believe that good branding can, and should, be accessible to all.
