At Ogilvy I learnt my trade as a Junior Planner on Lucozade, Lucozade Sport, Eagle Star, Perrier, Royal & Sun Alliance and assorted COI projects for the likes of the Department of Health and the Department of Trade & Industry. I also worked with Lee Taylor in the Discovery Unit thinking about men as consumers, Single Person Households, Old-Age, brands and trust and got stuck into some wild and wonderful NPD projects with Unilever that make me smile to this very day.
