Finland made me do it.
A couple of years ago, I was tasked with advertising the Finnish school in which I taught. After designing and building a fully functioning escape room to do so, I twigged that this advertising business wasn’t too bad.
So I hopped back over to Edinburgh to study a course in it and BAM, here we are.
I’m a hybrid creative with a love of words, especially satisfying ones like “plume”. With a stroke of humongous good fortune, I met my work wife (Ciara) during uni and we’ve been creatively inseparable ever since. You can check out our portfolio here: www.chloeandciara.com
When I’m not advertising you’ll find me drawing weird stuff, writing fiction, and rollerblading.

Insight: Girls as young as 9 years old are seeking labiaplasty surgery for fear that they don't look "normal" or "beautiful" enough. Solution: Celebrate a different kind of V-Day on the 14th of February by planting a loud and proud 8ft tall flower vagina in the heart of Camden Market, of course.

- The Rubber ClubBrief: Encourage more 18-24 year olds to use condoms. Insight: We unearthed a study by the University of North Carolina which found that only 12/2600 sex scenes in popular TV shows and movies referenced condoms.

- Energy From The Ashes (D&AD New Blood Pencil Winner)Brief: Encourage more 18-25 year olds to drink Yula. Insight: The Amazon Rainforest is at the heart of Yula and all that it stands for. Last year, Amazon forest fires increased by 84%, releasing a decade's worth of carbon into the atmosphere. Yet for too long these fires were ignored. Solution: Deliver100% plant power energy #fromtheashes

- Shout BoxBrief Build a brand around a cause that means something to you. Insight The ‘Man Box’ is a preconceived set of beliefs that are taught to men throughout their lives. These ideals significantly contribute towards rates of male suicide in the UK.
