Advisor / Consultant / Creative Mentor helping founders and CEOs frame their narrative, building stronger brands through better comms, marketing and creative.I started out in this industry as a young, creative founder and through ability, hard work and timing (never to be underestimated) was fortunate enough to become a successful entrepreneur. With my co-conspirator I started Holler, an award-winning creative agency and my calling for 15 years. By the time we’d exited via Leo Burnett (Publicis) we’d made the E4 TV show ‘Skins’ off-the-scale famous via social media, created a Cannes-slash-Emmy-slash-everything-winning film in ‘Like A Girl’ for P&G Always and helped brands like Red Bull, Innocent and Mercedes Benz connect with new audiences with refreshingly authentic, always creative, marketing. As Chief Creative Officer at Brave Bison I applied commercial nous and creativity to build a team and studio to enable multi-platform content creation at scale across a global network of entertainment channels.I now support my fellow founders, helping them to build better. I’m a straight talker who won’t recycle industry bullshit, speak in buzzwordy riddles or offer up generic insights into Gen Z.Instead I want help as many founders and CEOs with progressive ideas achieve their vision by applying my marketing experience and creativity. Simply put: helping them get shit done!My purpose is to instil creative culture and creative leadership in businesses I work with and I do this because in business, and life, creativity counts; I believe it’s not what you do but how you do it. Creativity impacts everything from a single social media post made to sell more products to a strategy for your next raise. It’s about connection through emotion to elicit that desired response from fellow humans. Creativity, design and storytelling applied with an objective in mind. CEOs and founders, I will help you:- Articulate the Why, What and How so your people are clear and aligned on the mission.- With your brand repositioning / rebranding process- Identify what you shouldn’t be doing as much as what they should when it comes to the marketing mix- Create better marketing materials so you can better communicate your vision - Identify the balance of long term brand building vs short term marketing- Up your creative game; instilling a creative culture and making culturally relevant marketing - Build stronger brand stories you can tell again and again in different ways while finding the all important brand ‘consistency’. - Make the complex, simple.
