(Lean by design. Built to scale.)

Through our talent network The Creation Population®, we connect brands and agencies with exceptional content creators.

We bring the right people together for each brief - whether that’s design, CGI, film, animation or emerging production tools.

Our role is to provide clear oversight from concept through to delivery, combining creative direction with disciplined project management to keep projects focused, efficient and driving creative and commercial impact.

That means less friction, less waste, and better outcomes for the work.

About Us

meet OUR founders.

Tell us a little about your role within People One Fifty®.

I look after clients and artists. I put teams together to deliver amazing content. I do the numbers making sure it’s a win for the clients, the artists and People One Fifty®. I find new artists and clients that fit with our culture and values. I work strategically, always making sure I understand the bigger picture and also the micro details.

Prior to People One Fifty®.

I was lucky enough to complete the first multimedia design degree in the country. The course involved modules in Creative Thinking, Film Making and Photography, 3D Modelling, Video Editing, and Interactive Design. Amazingly this is pretty much what I do today. I’ve worked in the agency world for nearly 30 years and have seen it all, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Quick-Fire Five.

1. Biggest influence, professionally or personally?

Michael Fisher (my first Boss), he taught me about work ethic, creativity/design and in effect how the creative industry works.

2.Best piece of advice you have ever been given?

Do as Shelley says (she’s always right). Annoyingly this is usually very true.

3. Where are you happiest?

On a beach on a hot sunny day.

4. What’s your favourite catchphrase?

Just do it.

5. Tell us something we don’t know about you – work or personal?

I designed my first record cover at 18 as a graphic designer on work placement. I took my Mum to HMV to buy a copy which I still have today!

6. Bonus facts?

Shelley talks more than I do (!) and drives a Nissan Figaro. We had a cat, Cowboy, who’s sadly no longer with us, but his legacy lives on through his feisty, friendly brother Indian, and more recently, two rescue kittens, Pretty and Danny.

Shelley SCOTHORNE

Co-Founder

Tell us a little about your role within People One Fifty®.

Following my return to the NHS full-time, I've stepped back from the day-to-day running of People One Fifty®. Having co-founded the business and helped build it into what it is today, I'm incredibly proud to see Dan leading the company, supported by an exceptional network of creative talent and trusted clients.

People One Fifty® was founded on a simple belief: that clients achieve the best outcomes through a lean, direct-to-talent model, built on clear thinking, collaboration and access to exceptional talent. Those principles continue to define the business today.

Prior to People One Fifty®.

Before co-founding People One Fifty®, I spent more than 25 years in senior commercial, marketing and account leadership roles across the public and private sectors, including the NHS, with experience spanning stakeholder engagement, supply chain, procurement, customer engagement and business development.

Following my return to the NHS, those experiences continue to shape how I work - helping customers define value early, align stakeholders and deliver sustainable improvements that ultimately support better NHS patient care.

Quick-Fire Five.

1. Biggest influence, professionally or personally?

Professionally, my late dad - a marketer - had a big influence. My first boss, Ted, also stands out. He showed me the value of believing in people and helping them build the confidence to be the best version of themselves.

2. Best piece of advice you have ever been given?

'Always look for the good in people'.

3. Where are you happiest?

Spending time outdoors (and in the sea) on our incredible island.

4. What’s your favourite catchphrase

‘There is no such thing as failure, just key learnings.’

5. Tell us something we don’t know about you – work or personal?

During my time in the NHS and healthcare, I designed and launched the National NHS Traffic Light Support System (TLSS) in collaboration with NHS Supply Chain, The Royal College of Nursing, The Clinical Procurement Specialist Network and NHS trusts.

It was a simple, practical system designed to engage frontline teams and support more informed, cost-aware decisions around clinical supplies - improving awareness, influencing day-to-day behaviour and enabling more consistent, efficient use of resources.

It reinforced the value of clear communication and creating the right content and tools that people can understand, trust and act on - and the real-life impact that can have.
