Ah! The good old ‘about’ section. Time to decide whether to talk about myself in the first person or the third…

OK, here goes: I’ve been a writer, CD, GCD, ECD, Creative Partner and an agency founder (twice). I’ve worked on tiny start-ups and spent six years working exclusively for the biggest company in the world (🍏), and I’ve won dozens of awards and pitches. It’s been fun; it still is. It’s also been a fascinating series of challenges, from building brands and creative departments to working with The Cookie Monster (surprisingly urbane).

I’m also the advertising columnist for Creative Review and a monthly columnist for Mediacat. In 2010 my Novel ‘Instinct’ was published aross the world and translated into German, Russian and Mandarin. Since 2006 I’ve written an advertising blog, and in 2016 I added a podcast.
