Spamly started in the summer of 2007 when a small group of friends got together and decided they wanted to do things differently. They all worked for companies which had grown so big, an obsession with “more, more, more” became more important than the work they were employed to deliver.

The internet is a marvellous place however, where we can do things differently. Unlike the limited high street, here variety and choice can flourish. There’s enough room for everyone’s preference and taste. Baby boomer grannies can auction vintage sunglasses to retro fans while super sized airliners can sell tons of seats to loads of bums. We customise our high street each time we shop.

At Spamly, our business is about supporting that variety. We want an internet where “bigger” and “more popular” do not take over, and where “smaller” or “more personal” can compete just as well. It’s up to us to choose what’s better when, as there’s a time and place for everything. We don’t all fit the same mould all of the time. Each one of us is that little bit fabulous at times and may crave something unique every now and then. We may want to flaunt a Chanel handbag in commercial hedonism one moment and crave curling up on the sofa with slippers and biscuits the next.

Take our team for instance; it’s made up of completely temperamental eccentrics:

Meet Richard Nikolaos. Thirty something and looks like a million dollars. Loves running the business like a holiday. Prefers being barefoot on an Aegean beach than in Manhattan with his Pradas. Believes luck is something fabulous which happens to you that you deserve just when you least expect.

Meet Kleo Brant. Part Martini, part marketing, Kleo manages all things media. Born in Milan to Parisian parents, this sweetie even makes sweat look glamorous. Her character is as effervescent as Veuve Clicquot but her virtues keep her well grounded. Promotes cheap as chic provided it’s behind big designer sunglasses.

Meet Darius Basit. Could easily be mistaken for harmless office eye candy until you see his excel macro. We think this numeric genius started to count on his six pack when he was five. His team may be great at finance and figures, but one thing they can’t figure out is whether their boss is straight, gay or German.

Meet Miranda Shahar. Outrageously adventurous she makes the commercial department look like a safari. Full of energy and inspiration, Miranda mixes a passion for studying exotic species with signing exciting deals. Tip: the Inca receptacle in her office was not meant to be used for food.

Meet Raymond Haruki. How someone with a Glaswegian accent could end up with such a Japanese surname is anyone’s guess. Completely self taught, we’re proud of our Ray of Sunshine and his enlightened crew. Mixing servers with a wicked sense of humour from the time of ZX80s, this man is IT. Well, except for the bright yellow socks.

Meet Bridget Harriett. She keeps the express team loaded with doses of her home baked cinnamon temptations. Dangerously high on caffeine by midday, Bridget knits jumpers for her team to work off her excess energy.

Enough about us. We could go on and on forever. Why don’t you drop us a line about you: hello@spamly.com
