Kaine Shutler

Managing Director

Starting off as a web designer back in 2011, it was clear to Kaine that clients needed more than just web design services, with clients often seeking a full-service agency that could bring together, design, UI and digital marketing strategies to deliver future proof digital products.

Expanding into the e-learning and LMS (Learning Management System) market at Plume has allowed Kaine to continue to deliver engaging digital platforms beyond website design. But it doesn’t stop there, offering marketing and instructional design, Kaine has pushed Plume into the top-spot for online training system creation in the UK by producing custom digital solutions to clients across the country.

Kelly Newcomb

Digital Marketing Specialist

Beginning her career in events and social media marketing, Kelly has expanded her skill set to encompass a range of digital marketing specialisms. Having worked both agency and client-side, Kelly has experience crafting comprehensive strategies and implementing these on a tactical level. As a key member of Plume’s marketing team, Kelly is responsible for forging Plume’s own digital marketing and content strategy as well as leading on client accounts across content, SEO, PPC and copywriting.

Igor Mitic

Senior Developer

A problem-solver and Plume’s web developer extraordinaire, Igor’s design background and keen eye for detail make him one of the most valuable members of the team. Joining Plume back in 2015, Igor first began building websites alongside Kaine Shutler before progressing into the development of learning management systems. Although mostly development orientated, Igor inputs on almost every single project thanks to his extensive knowledge in web technologies. Igor is Plume’s longest-standing member of staff, besides Kaine, and he credits his enjoyment of the role to the variety of clients Plume attracts and the opportunity to learn something new every day.

“From the initial proposal to the delivery of the outcomes we have felt listened to and understood, challenged and guided as needed… But most of all we actually felt like partners – not new customers.”
