About me
My current role is Account Director at AMV BBDO, working on British Telecom, The Economist and Smart Energy GB.
My main focus for the last 18 months has been the development and implementation of the new BT brand campaign vehicle, and an integrated 360 product launch for BT Mobile.
On the Economist I am the day-to-day account lead on a number of global awareness campaigns, and on Smart Energy GB I am managing the roll out of a nationwide behavioural change campaign.
I began working in advertising as a grad at RKCR/Y&R, with a client portfolio of Virgin Atlantic, Ferrero Rocher and BBC.
Before that I studied Architecture at Cambridge University, and worked as a designer for taste experience creators Bompas and Parr.
Design remains an integral part of my life, both in my day job and through gallery visits, life drawing and sketching.
I am a very keen skier and surfer.
