Who is our ‘Barketing Manager’ Bernard?

16 May 2025

We caught up with our ‘Barketing Manager’, Bernard.

Sometimes your team needs that extra special attitude that can only come from a dog like Bernard!

Hi Bernard, tell us about yourself..

Woof Woof! I’m a rescue terrier, nearly 4 years old and I’ve lived in Canterbury all my life. If there weren’t so many bikes here I would lead a relatively peaceful life. I usually take myself for a stroll round Blean woods each lunch time and at the weekends I like a longer walk round Botany Bay and a pint and some pork scratchings after.

And what’s your graphic design experience?

Slightly limited as I don’t have thumbs but my colleagues at d&f have been very patient. I really enjoy working on print projects, as I love the smell of fresh paper and coming across my designs when out on walkies in the city. Woof, did you see that Squirrel?!

What brought you to Dodgems and Floss?

I was looking for a friendly local company to work at, so d&f was perfect! I found their past projects and work really inspiring, so I was excited to be a part of that.

And don’t listen to what anyone else says, I’m absolutely not here just for pizza Fridays.

What do you bring to the company?

I think I’m particularly useful at alerting when anyone comes to the door. I like to think I bring a sense of fun and unpredictability to the studio too. Also, my retouching skills are really improving, which I’m very proud of.

What do you think makes a good designer?

Someone who’s collaborative, creative and open to feedback. Personally, I love working with people who are good at tummy rubs, but for some reason you never see this on job specs.
