Need better? We fix what’s broken, add what’s missing and build what’s next.

Straight Talking, Smart Thinking.

Working out of Jersey and Brighton, MixBox is your no-nonsense agency for businesses that just want to get things done. No up-selling, over-engineering and under-delivering.

By fixing what’s broken, stripping out what slows you down, adding what works and building what’s next, you get a smarter way to get more done in no time at all.

You get 100% honest strategic advice.

We’ll always be upfront with you. If something is not worth your money or won’t work, we’ll tell you. Because we’re single-minded when it comes to getting you from A to B in the smartest, most effective way possible.

You get agile comms support that pays off.

You only speak to senior experts, with decades of high-level experience, who mix strategic thinking into every single piece of comms. This makes us agile enough to adjust, adapt or reinvent to keep your comms relevant and working.

You get words and creative with clout.

You need words that are more than just content noise and creative that does more than just look nice. We always produce both together to work together, adding more clout to everything we do for you.

There is a smarter way to get more done.

Arrange a straight talk

You get massive experience mixed into everything we do for you.

MixBox is a collaboration of three battle-hardened specialists who have come together after individually running successful agencies, working with global businesses across a very broad range of sectors. Together, we manage a team of specialists and custom-mix the right skills and expertise for each and every project.

Francesca Crane

Director – Agency & Client Services

Francesca is a tactical marketing specialist with over 18 years of experience across both agency and client-side roles. She has led complex, multi-disciplinary campaigns for corporations and SMEs in sectors including finance, public transport, intellectual property law, private family offices, legal, recruitment, and retail.

At MixBox, she oversees comms and client services and ensures operational efficiency. Highly analytical, she excels in market research, campaign planning, and project management – always focused on achieving results in the most efficient way. Unusually for an agency director, she is often the one advising businesses what not to spend money on.

Dara Lutes

Director – Strategy & Messaging

Dara is an award-winning copywriter and communications strategist with over 20 years of experience across industries ranging from finance to fashion, tech start-ups to dairies. Her work has helped clients achieve increased revenue, enhanced brand presence, media recognition, award wins, and even election victories.

At MixBox, she specialises in strategic positioning, thought leadership, and corporate storytelling. She also provides tactical PR support for businesses navigating high-stakes situations – offering more than just standard “delighted to announce” messaging.

Matt Crane

Director – Branding & Creative

Matt is a designer and brand strategist with over 30 years of experience across the Channel Islands, UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. His work spans finance, legal, consumer electronics, tech, and retail, with clients including JVC, Netgear, LG, Logitech, and Emirates NBD.

As part of MixBox, he provides creative direction for brands that need to mean something – and more importantly, do something. His approach ensures that design isn’t just visually striking but strategically aligned with communication objectives. Every project is built with purpose, never designed just to ‘look cool’.
