I'm offering
I keep telling myself that one day I'll get a proper job. It just doesn't seem right that I've spent three decades doing what I love whilst having a laugh with some of the nicest people you've ever met.
Yes, there's been a lot of late nights and a few tantrums along the way, but what other industry actively encourages you to spend your day coming up with daft ideas - and pays you for doing it.
I've been working in this business for quite a while now and a lot of things have changed over the years, but my passion and excitement for it is still as strong as the day I wrote my first radio ad.

job
Creative Director
Pablo London.
Pablo offered an exciting opportunity. Having been employed for a freelance project initially, it soon became clear that we like each other and wanted something more than a casual relationship. So we started going steady and I joined as a Creative Director in September 2013. The agency went from strength to strength and is slowly becoming one of the most talked about brand agencies around today.
Clients worked on include:
Harvester, Toby Carvery, Somersby Cider, San Miguel, Hooch, Adidas, Kinder, Bargain Booze, Tim Hortons, NHS Blood Donation and Travelodge.

2002 - 2004
job
Group Head
Carlson Marketing Group.
I was the writer that put the car into Carlson. As Brand Guardian on the agencies two biggest accounts, Citroen and Hyundai, I learnt every trick in the automotive book. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about running a creative department, both as Group Head and as acting Creative Director during a transitional period.
Other accounts worked on apart from cars:
Britannia Building Society, The Telegraph, Learn Direct and Stella Artois

job
Head of Copy
unknown.
2000 to 2002 M.B.O
No it's not a misprint. You'll notice M.B.O on the CV twice. What can I say, they wanted me back and I liked working there. Of course the position of Head of Copy and the bigger salary had something to do with it.
Accounts worked on this time included:
Britannia Music Club, Chrysler, Homechoice and the AA

job
junior writer
Grey Integrated.
(now Joshua)
My career as a writer started here after I sent a radio script to the creative director and asked him what he thought. He liked it and so did the client (and it pulled like a train). A few months later I was employed as a junior writer.
Accounts I cut my teeth on included:
Royal Mail, Canon, British American Tobacco and United Distillers
Awards
I've been lucky enough to pick up a fair few awards over the years, including the ISP, DMA and a Precision Marketing Awards Grand Prix.
