Senior Art DirectorFoote, Cone And Belding E.A Mar 2015 - Apr 2019Lavington, NairobiAs Senior Art Director at FCB every day was different, this is what I enjoyed most about the position. Some days were spent conducting brainstorming sessions with other team members, maintaining strategic and creative thinking to develop innovative and actionable creative initiatives, while others were spent creating a brand’s identity or layouts for POS and print ads or writing TV commercial scripts. And then there were the days spent at photoshoots overseeing its production, ensuring the concept is realized.Beiersdorf was my primary account at FCB where I led creative for NIVEA covering the Central, East and West African markets. I was also Lead Creative for MoneyGram, Royal Air Maroc, Tell-Em PR, Honda, VISA and Bio Oil among others.
