Senior Marketing Executive

Mischa Steele

Hi, I'm Mischa - welcome to my corner of the digital world 🙂

I'm a marketing professional with a passion for creativity and innovation. My journey began as an apprentice at Far North, where I immersed myself in the art of marketing. Today, I proudly serve as a Senior Marketing Executive, continually pushing boundaries and exploring new avenues in the ever-evolving realm of digital marketing.

Outside of the office, I enjoy exploring different cultures through travel and expressing my artistic side through makeup. My favourite aspect of marketing is crafting captivating websites that not only engage but also leave a lasting impression. I love blending strategy with creativity, ensuring each project is a masterpiece in its own right.

Managing Director

Ian Farrar

I have a confession to make—I’m a bit of an enterprise enthusiast!

Alongside my role at Far North, I serve as a Non-Executive Director on various charity boards and Community Interest Companies, and I'm also an investor in a blockchain company.

With over 10 years of experience as a content creator, I’ve been fortunate enough to work on some incredible media projects around the world too!

My passion lies in delivering outstanding projects and ensuring that my team and I have a great time doing it. We collaborate with like-minded clients who trust us to bring their visions to life.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll often find me exploring lakes and fells, reconnecting with nature, and staying well in both mind and body.

Hi, I'm Luke. My role revolves around business development and providing support to clients in managing their social media presence.

I'm also a Sunderland supporter (that's just saw the website bounce rate increase haha).

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and trying different cuisines with my partner.

I am also a trained barber so often have to pause projects to cut the gaffers hair!

About me
(opens in new tab)

"Far North was established in my mind many years ago.

Previous to Far North I spent 15 years as a global sales professional; ultimately heading up commercial departments with responsibility for overall business development across Technology and Engineering organisations.

Over the years I have worked with many personalities and stakeholders with such differing views on how to increase sales.  In larger organisations I often experienced barriers to sales put up by various departments, colleagues usually focussing on the technical specifications or nervousness around lead times. These opinions inevitably affected how the sales & marketing department operated.

Far North was borne to influence communication and strategy. In other words, a fresh pair of external eyes to assist in growth and ensure that we enjoy ourselves along the way."
