Home > About Sunflower
Hello, and thank you for visiting the Sunflower website.
My name is Sean Burke and I founded Sunflower in 2011 to allow me to focus on the kind of Marketing Communications work that gets me up in the morning, puts a spring in my step and a twinkle in my eye.
Previously, I had spent 12 years in marketing working for leading companies in the leisure and publishing sectors.
Throughout this period, I was responsible for all aspects of communications and promotion. From brand management and new product launches, to advertising, sales promotions, online/ e-marketing, direct mailing, events, copywriting and graphic design. The fruits of my labour have been seen in national newspapers, magazines and retails outlets across the UK.
My experience is backed up with theoretical and vocational training including a C.A.M (Communications, Advertising and Marketing Foundation) Advanced Diploma.
Prior to my move into marketing, I had spent a number of years in Japan firstly as a teacher, then as a writer/ developer. My experiences there gave me the empathy needed to see the world through a customer's eyes, a need to focus on clear, precise communication and the power of space and simplicity in design.

I work out of Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire where I live with my extremely patient wife and two adorable children. I sing or go for a walk keep my mind active and enjoy a Pimms in summer, a Baileys in winter. I do my best work standing up, chewing a pencil (2B) with some fine jazz played low.
But enough about me …
I'd much rather hear about you. I look forward to hearing about your company, your products and services and, most importantly, your customers and what makes them tick.
