Sean Cullen , Poynton, United Kingdom

With over 15 years’ experience, I’ve worked as an art director at London agencies such as FCB Inferno, McCann Erickson, CHI and more recently as Creative Director at Kastner & Partners.

My experience covers a wide range of clients. I’ve worked on FMCGs such as Nivea, Oreo and Flash. Automotive brands including BMW and Triumph. Drinks companies from Bacardi to SAB Miller. Plus, a whole collection of charity, health and financial services too. I always think across the full channel mix – from digital and social, to press, TV and DM.

Along the way I've helped win my fair share of pitches, including Big Yellow storage and Grand Marnier. My work has also been nominated for numerous awards and has featured in industry publications such as D&AD, Campaign Big, Bestads and the ANNAS.

I've always tried to encourage and develop junior creatives, from tutoring at my former University, to taking regular book crits. My most recent roles as creative director for Kastner & Partners and creative lead at Cube3 have allowed me to take charge of a team of creatives and designers. I find this part of my role particularly rewarding.
