Jez Staines
Meet Jez – Head of Commercial
“I love my role as Head of Commercial at Gravit8. I started six years ago as an account manager and quickly discovered my passion for creating innovative tech solutions that exceed our clients’ expectations. Now, I lead a talented team of professionals dedicated to building and nurturing client relationships while tackling challenges with enthusiasm and fun.
Each project we undertake is unique, but I particularly enjoy our Object Recognition Tables. They often deliver unexpected value to brands, and I take pride in the positive impact our work has on people and their organisations.
If I could have one superpower, it would be telepathy. It would help me decode client phrases like ‘there’s no budget’ or ‘classically futuristic’ in an instant.
A fun fact about me is that I once powered through a 32-hour shift as an airport rep! Oh, and I was the British Karate Champion, although, that was when the original Karate Kid was still in cinemas!
My best advice for newcomers is to have fun with your work. Enjoying what you do boosts creativity and benefits clients. And remember, don’t face challenges alone—lean on our team for support. Individually, we all have our strengths, but collectively we can create incredible things. Lastly, don’t eat yellow snow!”
