I'm a freelance Creative Director / Copywriter / Consultant available for projects both within the traditional agency model and outside. In addition, I work directly with clients and production companies to create brand campaigns, one-off commercials and content, together with overseeing the production process from strategy to finished film.
I resigned from Publicis London in spring 2017. There, I had been the Global Creative Director on UBS for the previous three years and wrote the campaign that relaunched the brand in September 2015. I was also the Creative Director on SCA, overseeing campaigns for Libero. In addition I made work for SMA and a pro bono campaign for The Noise Festival which mentors young creatives.
Hired by AMV in January 2011, I was Creative Director on Mars UK and Europe, Birds Eye Frozen Foods and BT Sport. I also made commercials for The National Lottery, Total Greek Yoghurt, Mars Bar, Mars Petfood and Maltesers.
Prior to this, I worked at JWT for 7 years as Creative Director on Vodafone, Nestle, and HSBC; creating campaigns for Vodafone, Smirnoff, HSBC, Pfizer and Kit-Kat and winning a D&AD nomination, gold and silver Cannes Lions and One Show gold. I was listed as Shots 6th most awarded copywriter worldwide in 2006.
I joined Saatchi & Saatchi in 1994, becoming a board member in 1999. In almost 10 years there I won two D&AD yellow pencils, two further nominations and Cannes Lions. Saatchi was twice agency of the year during this period.
