Mark Dickens , London, United Kingdom

I am an Art Director with over 30 years experience of all areas of the communications business.



Working alongside brilliant people at agencies such as Leagas Delaney, HHCL and M&C Saatchi has given me an understanding of positioning and strategy as well as an appreciation of ideas and craft.



The last few years have seen my role encompass both comms and branding. I have done everything from launching promotional campaigns via social media, to helping create and position the luxury brand Myla, for the fashion house Fendi.



From an art background, I’m passionate about design and typography, so I enjoy creating and crafting work myself. As a manager I love mentoring and fostering higher standards in others.



I have been fortunate enough to win numerous creative awards for my work, including D&AD Pencils, One Show Awards, Art Director’s Club of New York and Cannes Lions, I am grown up enough to know that new business wins are far more important.



I can use all the usual software packages including Adobe Creative Suite, Word, PowerPoint, Keynote and Final Cut Pro, but my preferred tools are a pen, paper and my imagination.
