The Sightsound Audio Department
From 2022 I’m excited to be expanding my team to include three of the most talented and experienced designers I know.
With seamless data syncing, we can service any high volume account or fast turnaround design project with the kind of immediacy, flexibility and dependability offered in Soho.
Jim griffin
Jim Griffin is a multi-award-winning senior sound designer with 25 years of experience in advertising. His care, attention and passion for sound have kept him consistently in demand with the industry’s top producers, creatives and directors. As a senior sound designer at Jungle, he oversaw the Tesco “Every Little Helps” ads for 7 years, worked on classic campaigns like Honda and achieved a Campaign Big Award for the most consecutive ads broadcast back to back (80 over 80 days for Argos!) Never one to have an idle moment, he also teaches yoga, DJs and writes music, plus he has a nice beard.
In a strange geographical coincidence, Jim’s studio backs onto Graeme’s.
Graeme Elston
Graeme Elston is an experienced and creative sound designer and studio engineer, with a track record of delivering both top quality short-form and long-form broadcast audio. Starting as a runner at Jungle (then Zoo Studios) in 1996, Graeme was one of their first senior sound designers, which he remained for over 20 years. During this time, Graeme worked on TV and Radio advertising for agencies including Leo Burnett, DDB, VCCP, Ogilvy, McCann Erickson for major brands including Kelloggs, McDonalds, Ford, British Gas and L’Oreal.
Graeme’s musical history encompasses the dizzy heights of 147 in the UK charts during the Britpop wars, two Peel sessions, and touring Japan as a solo artist. These days he is also, unashamedly, an Archers Addict and therefore a connoisseur of cow sfx.
Scott Johns
Scott Johns is a London based Re-Recording Mixer/Sound Designer with over nine years experience in-house and freelance. Having started his career in 2012 at the award-winning UNIT Media in London, Scott worked his way up the ranks to become a key member of the audio department.
Scott has collaborated with a range of agencies and channels including VCCP, Evoke, IRIS worldwide, FCB Inferno, RAKISH L.A, UKTV, BBC and Discovery, over a range of brands including Adidas, Huawei, Discovery, UKTV, Rolex, Sky and Microsoft. Over the last 10 years, Scott has built a reputation for hard work combined with exceptional creative audio design. He’s also a pleasure to deal with.
