About me
I'm currently available to chat about permanent Creative Director roles. Here are some happy moments from my career: • Arranging for a venue to announce its opening night a week earlier than the actual date. Whilst customers outside were being told the club was full, inside a DJ played to an empty dance floor. The following week, when the club opened for real, it had a capacity crowd. • Spotting an elephant on the tube and creating the London Zoo campaign. • Making tea orgasmic. • Selling second-hand smoke to highlight how many lives it costs. • Having my work recognised in awards, including Campaign and the ANNAs. • Helping agencies win over £700m worth of new business. Outside of work, some things that make me happy are writing and performing stand-up comedy, coaching my son's football team and working on a film script, which I might eventually finish around 2078.
