I do a lot of long writing. I generally write to try and make things make sense. I do a lot of that on my blog. I also do what I can to help people coming into the creative industry. I regularly guest-lecture at universities around the country, and whilst I don't claim to be a samurai, over the years I've helped students get placements, jobs, and even awards. I've worked with organisations like The Diana Award, and Accumulate to give direction to bright, ambitious people starting out. Here's a collection of things I've written:
How to get a job as an advertising creative
Unsolicited Advice for Advertising Creatives (Linkedin Series)
'How to Create a Living Creating for a Living' (Blog Series)
Cars as a gateway for learning Advertising + Marketing
