Biography
A few years ago an experienced broadcaster and journalist had a dream. The dream was of a company that seamlessly integrated broadcast, communications, and marketing, utilising the tools of traditional and new media. That man is Richard Swallow, and that incredibly prescient dream has now come true, in the lovely shape of EC1. Richard's experience in the world of broadcast and media is anchored in many years of presenting and producing for BBC News, ITN, Granada, Anglia, and BBC News 24, across a range of topics and formats. Sailing alongside his presenting experience is his work in the Corporate sector, advising major companies such as NU and RAC on branding and positioning in the media market place. Richard has brought on board some of the brightest sparks in the New Media, Training & Education, Broadcasting, and Profile Writing (ahem) arenas, to help him turn EC1 into the multi-platform, multimedia agency it is today.
