I'm offering
For the last 20 something years, I’ve been a senior copywriter, a creative director and a very lucky man. Because I’ve spent a lot of it creating ideas for some of the world’s favourite brands. Including O2, SKODA, EDF Energy, Avis, BMW, Halifax, Bacardi, Henri Wintermans, Volkswagen, John Lewis, St Mungo’s and The Post Office. And crafting copy to bring those ideas to life. On social media. On the radio. On your door mat.
The rest I’ve divided equally between managing a creative department, mentoring teams, running pitches, presenting to clients and visiting factories. For some of London’s top integrated agencies. They also let me scream around Rockingham in a BMW M3 to record the engine, buzz Blackpool Tower in a helicopter for O2 and make a chocolate-flavoured air freshener for SKODA.
I’ve won most awards worth winning including D&AD, Creative Circle, Cannes, DMA and Campaign BIG. And dished out quite a few as a judge. That about covers it.

Senior Copywriter
Parkhouse.
Ads, social media, video scripts, emails, websites, direct mail. You name it, I wrote it. Recruited to run the Hyundai account, I was jointly responsible for the launch of the dazzling Hyundai Kona, for which we commissioned original graffiti and created an adult colouring book, complete with crayons.
We also produced a Christmas campaign for St Mungo's to run in July and a DMA winning campaign starring homeless dogs. Oh, and a poster for parkrun which won a Chip Shop chip in 2020.

Associate Creative Director
Proximity London.
Hired predominantly to strengthen the agency softball team, I spent a productive three years co-creatively directing a number of major accounts including Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, SKODA, John Lewis, SEAT, RNLI, Bacardi, Halifax and SSE.
The role included developing briefs, overseeing creative reviews, presenting to clients and signing off work. To ensure the highest creative standards. And rolling up our own sleeves from time to time to crack tricky briefs or win pitches. Like Moneysupermarket.com
All of which helped the agency become Campaign's Customer Engagement Agency Of The Year 2015.

Deputy Creative Director
O2, SKODA, EDF Energy.
In a whirlwind decade and a bit, the accounts I creatively directed and worked on included O2, SKODA, EDF Energy, BMW, CoppaFeel!, Club Med, Harrison's Fund and The Climate Group.
Personal highlights were winning the O2 pitch, the 118 500 launch on Blackpool beach, the BMW 5 Series 'Rivet' launch and the SKODA Roomster 'Frisbee' work.

I also mentored Bucks College students, reviewed work and wrote articles for the trade press and ran DMA workshops. Whilst having an absolute ball.
