I have 20 years’ experience working for both consumer and customer brands, leading creative teams to produce award-winning content across print, digital, video and social.
I am currently Creative Director of Studio Frank, a design consultancy I co-founded, working with clients and agencies helping them to develop their creative content and design work. Our clients have included BBC Worldwide, Berenberg, Royal Mail, the River Group and Sony Entertainment.
Previously I worked at board-level as Creative Director of Seven, a content marketing agency that produced multi-platform content for global clients such as Showtime, Waterstones, ASOS, Fujitsu, Weight Watchers, Guardian News & Media, and Virgin Media, winning 12 Content Marketing Association Awards in 5 years.
I oversaw all of Seven’s creative output, with a special remit to attract new talent to the company and was also creative lead on new business. During my time at Seven, I launched the first iPad native magazine, Project, for Virgin and helped make Sainsbury’s Magazine the UK’s biggest selling food magazine.
Previously I have also worked for some of the UK’s best-known publications, brands and agencies, including Lexus, British Airways, GQ and The Times, as well as for John Brown Media, Bauer Media and Neville Brody Associates. I was also part of the creative team on The Guardian’s Berliner redesign which won the D&AD Black Pencil Award for ‘Best Overall Design’ in 2006.
