I’m a copy-based Executive Creative Director at OLIVER, a global agency network I’ve helped turn into 5000 people since our early days in Shepherd’s Bush. We’re now part of The Brandtech Group, described as ‘ an agency ten years ahead of its competitors when it comes to technology.’ I’ve worked in Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the US, as well as in sport with top footballers and rugby players. I’m also the author of ‘The Special Brand’, acclaimed as “A book every person in advertising and marketing should read.”I’m currently part of a group that supervises OLIVER’s global creative offer through 25 offices around the world including Amsterdam, Cape Town, Dubai, Dublin, Durban, Istanbul, Jakarta, New York, Paris, Kuala Lumpur, London, Manila, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Sydney and Toronto. I’ve spoken at The Cannes Festival and at Cannes Imagination Days in Warsaw/Bratislava and at EMERCE in Amsterdam. I’ve judged at shows and won my share of awards around the world.I’m good with strategy, ideas, copy, getting things done and especially with global groups of people, whether that’s clients or agency folk. I’m also good at building global culture and inspiring creatives to higher levels. A film I made about our kids’ old school in Stamford probably tells you all you need to know about me.It’s in my contact details.

Listed skills include Efficiencies, Creative Direction, Creative Development, Creative Strategy, and 26 others.
