Every day I strive to create work that has a positive impact on society.
My 20+ years experience in advertising, design and PR has shown me that creativity not only has the power to change attitudes and behaviours, but to improve lives.
Whilst I have experience in big agencies such as BBH and VMLY&R and have worked on brand across a whole range of industries, I am drawn to purpose-driven organisations like charities, health institutions, public bodies and government departments.
I'm experienced in:
Cinema • Social • TV • OOH
Print • Radio • Experiential • Direct Mail
...and have picked up Cannes Lions, D&AD, British Arrows and The One Show awards along the way.
Over the years:
BBH taught me the power of big brand thinking and impeccable craft.
VMLY&R taught me how to build strong client and team relationships.
Consulting for Pernod Ricard taught me about client/agency relationships and problem-solving.
Setting up my own agency taught me how to hustle and work on small budgets.
Weber Shandwick and MHP Group taught me the importance of PR in building fame.
Creative mentoring for the SCA, D&AD, Watford and BBH Barn reminds me to be humble.
Being Creative Director of a not-for-profit brewery for people with learning disabilities shows me that communities are capable of amazing things.
