Colleagues describe him as "Confidence is a fragile commodity for a creative, however whenever working for Ben it was in abundance. He has an incredibly calming influence on his team, no matter how tense things get. He always, and I mean alllways, backs his creatives. When he believes in you and your work he will never stop fighting for it, and for you. He also has the admirable quality of seeing the potential in early work that others might shoot down, able to envision and then shape an idea in the direction… Show more" and "Ben's got an amazing knack for spotting the diamond of an idea amongst what is sometimes a bit too much rough. He's brilliant at leading the work and steering it in the right direction without forcing his own ideas on a creative team. That being said, he's also great at rolling his sleeves up and delivering an amazing amount of well-written copy when needed. He truly leads by example and is also a bloody nice guy to work with - I hope to do it again some day."
