Helen Aldous - Creative Director

With a Graphic Design CV as long as your arm, Helen is the creative power behind Sputnik. She is also responsible for online marketing, Pay-Per-Click advertising and SEO know-how.

Despite being a proper Northern lass, after graduating with her Graphic Design degree, she moved to London to cut her teeth treading the Design Agency boards for a few years. Then, drawn by the irrestible charms of the Pennines, she winged her way back up North and began specialising in Web Design.

History was made in 2000 when the dot com bubble burst and Helen faced redundancy. With no intention of taking it lying down Helen set up Sputnik New Media. Immediately, business was good and she never looked back. A few years later, after Doug came on board, Sputnik New Media became Sputnik Ltd.

In her [somewhat infrequent] spare time she enjoys indulging in creative art of all types, from illustration to screen printing. In early 2009 she launched her own online art shop to sell her screen printing creations and also exhibits her work regularly in galleries around the country.
