I'm offering
I'm a Creative Designer and Art Director, in fact an all-round creative, totally conceptual and ideas-driven but with hands on design skills too.
With many years of experience within the consumer, B2B and healthcare sector, the list of agencies I've worked at reads a bit like a who's who of the marketing industry.
I've worked on major brands such as NatWest, Sky, Diageo, Renault, Greene King, BBC and Sainsbury. Healthcare providers such as Bupa as well as the NHS. And I've created communications that talk to business and consumers alike.
I'm conceptual, ideas driven and strategic thinking. And from a practical, hands-on point of view, I can provide complete design skills - digital, UI and print design. Motion graphics. Meaning I often see the project, whether large or small, from idea to completion. I've worked collaboratively with UX teams, overseen and mentored design teams to achieve successful outcomes.
Whether the project is a branding exercise, a product launch, an experiential event, a website or app, a film, a sales piece or a complete 360 campaign.

ART DIRECTOR
GREY DIRECT.
A top 10 agency with major blue chip accounts. My first experience of Direct Mail and working on award winning campaigns for Emirates Airlines, Coca Cola and First Direct.
IBS ADVERTISING (DUBAI) - JUNIOR ART DIRECTOR
Brand campaigns for AVIS, Inter Continental Hotels and Mitsubishi. Experience
gained on working on TV and press campaigns from concept to completion.
MY CORE CREATIVE SKILLS
Although I'm first and foremost an ideas driven Creative, it is also necessary to master all aspects of Art Direction from the initial creative thinking, through to every aspect of the design process.
Covering digital, UI, Social, OOH and animation, I can work solo, collaboratively either with a writer or within a team, to originate and develop concepts to a brief, producing profitable, relevant, effective and impactful work.

• Concept origination from brief
• Briefing of creative teams as necessary
• Campaign development across multiple media • Attention to detail, making sure all work
(digital/social/video/print)
Art directing still, film and video shoots
meets stakeholder requirements and fulfils the creative brief
• Excellent communication skills
• Collaborative attitude to work
• Design, UI, Illustration and After Effects skills
• Bring new ideas and innovations into the mix
• Proactive, with high levels of passion,
initiative and a positive attitude
• Work well under pressure to strict deadlines,
on multiple projects at any one time
The key packages I work in:
WHAT THEY SAY
We've worked with Simon over the past couple of years and he's nothing short of wonderful: a talented
Art Director who can go from concepting through to final artwork, who is quick and efficient, and who
is flexible and willing to work to tight deadlines to get things done. Oh, and he can illustrate as well as use Adobe CC - a rare combination these days. Writers and indeed the whole agency team love working with him, and we'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

I have had, and still enjoy, the pleasure of working with Simon - over the last 10 years. He was my AD when I was the CD at Them, and we still collaborate on projects today.

Simon is a proper creative. He can draw and sketch with the best of illustrators. He can Art Direct on the page and in the studio or on location. He can design. He can think and can present. And he wears the title of integrated easily. He is as comfortable with handling DL envelope as he is with a digital
project. Shopper Marketing or Sales Promotion? Blog or Broadcast? No problem.
