I’ve got around 21 years experience (3 at Junction advertising and 18 at Brahm/Brass)I’m a thinker, a do-er and an art directorI’ve won some awards here and there (Cream, Roses Design Awards, IPM, Northern Marketing, Shot Up North photography & a recruitment one that I can’t remember the name of!)I’ve got myself noticed in Creative Review, Lurzer’s Archive & Design Week. Some of my work has been published in a text book about being creative too.I sit and think (a lot) about anything and everything - on / off / through the line / content / dm / packaging / pr ideas / recruitment / events / design / anything really.I also write (not loads of copy but mainly headlines and things), I direct, I’m pretty clued up with online stuff – I scamp websites, emaillers and banner ads for clients & I create content for social (quite a lot of that really) & generally absorb stuff from all over the place keeping up to date with things to keep it fresh. I’m the lead creative on many projects and work with a copywriter, designer, digital designer, artworker or by myself to get the job done.I pitch as part of a team or support the ECD and CD.I’m handy with a mac and able to produce my own visuals in indesign or Photoshop. I can take things through from initial idea to finished presentation - PowerPoint has become my best friend.I have also forged strong links with Leeds Art university and their Creative students mentoring the second years and regularly bring students into the agency for placements.I’ve worked on Haribo, Warburtons, Westfield Health, NiQuitin, Goodfellas Pizza, Bio-Oil, McCains foodservice, Kellogg’s foodservice, Ribena, Leeds Met Uni (now Beckett), Mission Foods, Seven Seas, Yorkshire Building Society, Chewits, Tommee Tippee, Persimmon homes, ARCO, First Direct, Learndirect, Bradford&Bingley, Yorkshire Forward, Weetabix, Jamaica Ginger Cake, Umbro, Lucazade Energy, Sensodyne & various other B2B, B2C clients all with broad range of budgets and timescales.

Seems so long ago I can’t actually quite remember when I started. They gave me my first paid job and I’m grateful to the small but skilled team there that taught me a lot. Loads of DM and ads set me off with a strong grasp of the basics.
