About Us

Colin Mitchell and Richard Mackney started their respective careers as creative designers in the early nineties after studying art and design. They both worked in traditional marketing design and packaging agencies before marketing on the Internet became a viable business model.

Richard started to design for the Internet in 1997 as a web design freelancer and soon became the New Media Manager for two well respected advertising agencies in Nottingham.

Colin moved from design into account management and in 1999 headed up the Account Management for the newly created New Media department of an advertising agency in Nottingham.

Colin and Richard worked together as a management team for over three years in the New Media arena in the Midlands before deciding to follow the goal of creating their own Web Development Company based in Derby.

Fish Media was established in August 2002 and has followed the learning’s of the directors - To strive to inject creativity into a traditionally technical subject.

By combining strong design skills and technical expertise, Fish Media specialise in producing exciting websites and new media solutions that deliver results.

Today Fish Media has grown to be more than just the sum of the two directors. The expertise of Fish Media now expands from creative website design to dedicated account direction, ground-breaking web development to server deployment and hosting management.
