Josh Stapleton
Chief Technology Officer
Josh is a talented web developer and designer who loves all things creative in life. He started out working in graphic design but quickly realised that his real passion was in web development.
In his role at Marketing Labs, Josh uses all of his accumulated knowledge and skills to develop outstanding websites for our clients that don’t just look good but perform well.
Josh is fanatical about creating a good user experience (UX), and he gets involved in new client projects from the outset, where he can really make a difference to the site’s design.
He might be creative, but Josh takes an analytical approach to things – he’s the type of guy that develops micro-systems and spreadsheet logic for fun! When he’s not designing or engineering something new, you’ll find him gaming or sleeping.
His quiet determination to get the job done and is admired by everyone in the team at Marketing Labs. We think his favourite quote from Walt Disney sums up Josh well: “the way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
