Award Winning Integrated Creative Director
For over 20 years I have been creatively and strategically building household named brands at some of the world's most famous creative agencies, such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy and GREY.
I have created campaigns through every media channel; from TV, print, poster and radio through to digital, social, experiential and shopper, even commissioning and editing 'GRILL ON' a foodie magazine for Weber Grills.
Along the way I have picked up awards at most of the major ad festivals; D&AD, Cannes Lions, New York Festivals, Art Directors Club, Effies, and even claimed a Guinness World Record for Duracell. My journey in adland has blessed me with the opportunity to hone my craft whilst working in London, Vienna, New York, Dubai, Duesseldorf & Milan.
During my time as ECD of Grey, which was the most creative period in the agency's 102 year history, I sat on the Grey EMEA Creative Council and was also a judge on the Grey Global Creative Council.
I believe creatives create their best work when smiling and whilst running a department of 25 creatives at GREY, I instigated the agency wide initiative "Ministry of Culture and Happiness'. An internal body that gave the younger members of staff a say in the future direction of the agency.
My journey as a Creative Director continued client side with SirGordonBennett.com. Helping build the brand from scratch on a minimal budget with the sustainable ethos of Made Well. Made to Last. Made in Britain.
