Fresh creative. Mean results. Award-winning digital art direction, design, development and some.

Fresh + Mean was created in 2008 by Ciara Meaney after she broke free from agency employment and followed some direct to client work. She was hungry for more direct client relationships and to see what all the freelance fuss was about. Shortly after this Ciara joined forces with Web Architect extraordinaire John D Wells which meant Fresh + Mean could offer a flexible service which was more scalable to client needs. Ciara and John work together when they can but both work on an independent basis too.

“It was my pleasure to work alongside Ciara for nearly three years here at TMW. During that time, her talents were abundantly in evidence – from cutting edge creativity to fastidious attention to detail, all backed up by an excellent work ethic. And it was no surprise when her hard work was rewarded with Grand Prixs, at both the Precision Marketing and DMA awards, for her GUINNESS ‘Pub Landlord’ campaign. Ciara’s sunny disposition, broad knowledge and willingness to help others made her a valuable and popular member of the team, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. ”
