nta Creative - A new start

Welcome to the new nta Creative blog. nta Creative is an advertising, design and marketing company who are in the business of creating powerful, relevant, effective and cost-effective advertising, design and marketing programmes for business of all sizes.

Set up in 1997 as Nixon Tidball Advertising and operating from offices in Covent Garden, London, the agency soon started working with major clients such as the National Health Service, Westminster City Council, The Training and Enterprise Council, Cannons Health Clubs and the Fitness Industry Association.


About ntaCreative.
The agency was founded by Simon Tidball and Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon started in mainstream advertising during the nineteen-sixties as a junior executive with the world famous Ogilvy and Mather. As an Account Executive, Richard worked on major international accounts, rose to board director level and was a personal friend of the agency founder, David Ogilvy.

Simon Tidball studied at Saint Martin's School of Art and gained a degree in Graphic Design entering the world of advertising with spells at Lowe Howard-Spink, Bates Worldwide and Evans Hunt Scot before joining Smee's Advertising as Creative Director. It was here that Simon and Richard met, soon started working together and developed a special relationship sharing a common philosophy regarding the business.

One of our first projects involved tackling the problem of hospital non-attendance by patients. This is costing the NHS over half a £billion annually. A successful test campaign in West London led to the campaign rolling out around the UK. Elements of the campaign included posters, leaflets, website, press advertising and stationery.

Many of our clients have asked us to create new identities for their companies or products and services. A famous name in Shaftesbury Avenue, Central London was in need of a new logo; The Golden Nugget Casino. The logo featured below captured the flavour of the casino in a design that really jumps out but is created in only two colours.



nta Creative specialise in logo design having designed idents for companies ranging from Boat-builders to Beauty salons.
