Tash Beecher Creative Director

About me

Tash has been in the creative comms industry as a writer, editor, radio presenter and marketeer for over 17 years. She has created award-winning work for brands and has spent time crafting concepts and multi-channel campaigns at some of the best healthcare advertising agencies in the world: DDB Remedy, Langland, Ogilvy Health, Pollen Health & Tank Worldwide/Grey to name but a handful. She champions inclusive advertising in all forms, and has judged global awards such as D&AD Writing for Advertising, D&AD Press and Outdoor, D&AD Writing for Design, the Outvertising Awards, the Creative Circle Awards, the Effie’s and Cannes Lions. Most recently she was Jury President for Health at Eurobest, and will serve on the inaugural 2024 Jury for D&AD Health & Wellness and Pharma. A former Creative Equals x Campaign Future Leader One to Watch, Tash is Creative Director at Syneos Health, and an Executive Creative Director at Pocc. You may spot her leading the walks and birdwatching with birding group Flock Together, binoculars in hand... or riding bikes with her dog Brodie on her back, which many say is the best thing they have ever seen. MISSION: To elevate the undertold stories, so the whole world can sparkle. ABOUT ME: Unicorn. Creative communicator. Multipotentialite. Former editor, radio presenter, fashion blogger, lab technician, medical writer, model, Pride Trustee, roller derby player, skateboarder, fixed gear cyclist. Current copywriter-flavoured creative director, trail runner, boulderer, collaborator, entrepreneur, dog mum, wife and general life participant. Yeah, it’s a lot. But y’know, Life Tapas. When science and art combine it's a powerful thing – once I discovered there was a way to apex the two, I amended my path to becoming a Pharmacist and created opportunities for myself to get into advertising. The new journey and destination would allow me to live out ALL my passions as a writer, creative-bod, scientist, active person. I wanted to be a role model for the younger me. I aimed to 'be the change I wished to see in the world'. My 17 years of broad experience is by no means complete. Beneath my deceptively youthful exterior is a confident yet empathetic, unapologetic passion to change the world. BRANDS WORKED ON: Pfizer, Gilead, Sanofi, Bayer, Abbott, Boots Pharmaceuticals (in-house), Johnson & Johnson, Lilly, The Fertility Partnership, INC Research, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Roche, World Afro Day, Dexcom, Vertex. I always figure out a way to do what I set out to. Let's connect.
