Introducing: Creative Director Marina Ansell. Artist Code: 2NCW
(Creative Director | Fashion & Lifestyle)
A long-standing creative connection
Marina and People One Fifty® co-founder Shelley met at Nottingham Trent University, where they studied Fine Art together and bonded over bold ideas and a shared love of the arts and fashion. Over two decades later, that creative connection is still going strong.
Big ideas, beautifully realised
Marina Ansell is a Creative Director with over 15 years’ experience redefining visual identities and delivering bold, beautifully crafted campaigns for some of the world’s most recognisable brands.
She began her career at ELLE, before shaping content and campaigns for ASOS, The Fold and ME+EM. From fashion and beauty to sport and music, Marina’s work is defined by its visual clarity, elevated execution and emotional intelligence.
At People One Fifty, she brings that same clarity and calm to fast-moving, high-stakes briefs. She’s a go-to for premium brands looking to cut through.
“Marina’s ability to bring clarity, elegance and emotion to every frame makes her one of the most distinctive and trusted creative voices in fashion and lifestyle today.”

Fashion instinct, commercial impact
From leading 360° creative strategies across digital, social, print, video and retail, to casting A-list talent and collaborating with CEOs and founders, Marina builds brands that connect.
She’s directed campaigns for Nike, Prada, ASOS, Tommy Hilfiger, Universal Music, Revlon, Rimmel and Schwarzkopf, and worked with a roll-call of cultural icons including Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, Stormzy, Zoe Kravitz, Little Simz, Jodie Comer, The Killers and Alex Greenwood.
Her creative leadership extends from concept to delivery. Model casting, location scouting, retouching, post-production and editing. Every detail considered, nothing left to chance.
Rooted in craft. Ready for what’s next.
A vocal advocate for emerging technology, Marina is curious about the role of AI in image-making and visual storytelling. Not as a replacement for creativity, but as a tool to expand what’s possible. That future-facing mindset is a natural fit for People One Fifty’s technology-led approach.
She’s also a trusted mentor and team leader, known for her collaborative energy, strategic thinking and ability to make creative teams and ideas flourish.
