Whether it’s OpenAI or DE&I, marketing communications is changing at break neck speed, and every agency and client organisation is scrambling to keep up.
In the middle of so much change and uncertainty no single company has all the answers. And as a result, collaboration has never been more important, and developing creative strategies to align diverse teams and disciplines, more critical.
But in this environment there’s one thing that won’t change, and that’s the importance of connecting with audiences in the most human way possible, irrespective of channel, platform or technology.
My skill as a creative leader, is aligning diverse talent from different disciplines and getting them to work seamlessly together to create world class, business changing solutions, with humanity at their core.

What I do
—
I am a strategically obsessed creative leader, with over 20 years experience running creative companies on both sides of the Atlantic. From multinational advertising agencies to creative start-ups, and from integrated marketing companies to strategic communication consultancies.
More recently I have worked inside client organisations to help develop creative strategies that will align all their partner agencies, and enable world class solutions across every channel, discipline and platform.
This combination of agency side and client side experience has given me a unique perspective on what it takes to bring different cultures together to deliver the creative and business results both agencies and clients desire.

How I work
—
I accelerate the process and make sure the right people are involved at the right time, and that the right processes and systems are in place to maintain efficiency and momentum.
At its simplest, I bring strategic and creative thinking together at the earliest opportunity, to avoid silo-ed thinking, and focus the most innovative minds directly on the business problem. The result is a shared understanding of the key issues, which leads to fresher insights and a more relevant ‘core idea’, allowing everyone to be more focussed and to move faster.
With this ‘core idea’ in place, the wider team is free to think beyond a specific channel, discipline or technology, to engage audiences in the most inspiring and relevant way possible, and deliver world class creative solutions with business changing results.
