Meet the SEnine team
Just in case you wanted to know the faces behind SE9’s favourite magazine…
John Webb: Editor
Marek Kolodziej: Commercial Director
Despite his exotic name, Marek speaks with a distinctly Scottish accent as he was born in Ayrshire, many moons ago.
He went to university in Glasgow and dabbled in the performing arts with various theatre companies before landing a PR job with the Glasgow Garden Festival. This led to more PR and marketing work with events and music festivals, eventually becoming Marketing Manager for the Glasgow International Jazz Festival.
Since the early 2000s, Marek has run his own company, Triptych Design, working with SMEs and organisations across the UK.
His involvement with SEnine began in 2007, when he radically redesigned the magazine on a pro bono basis. Marek went on to design all the 2008 editions.
He returned in 2017 to work alongside John Webb on the relaunch of SEnine.
