About me

I am currently Global creative director for the Shell Global advertising account based at JWT London. I've been in this role for almost two years.

I have also recently been elected to oversee the Vodafone online process and creative development, as a result of outstanding work achieved on the Shell account.

Throughout the development of the creative account, online creative has taken a more prominent role in the dynamics of the marketing mix and we are now in a much stronger, more creative position through constantly pushing the boundaries of technology.

I'm responsible for strategic and creative development both offline and online which encompasses every aspect of the creative mix. From brochures and leaflets, press, posters and TV, to targetted SMS bluetooth activity in 25 airports globally, aiming at specific target markets.

My employment history is varied. I freelanced as a commercials director and art director for many top agencies, picking up awards and nominations at Cannes, One show, Creative Circle, and IPA Effectiveness.

I started my career on placements at HHCL, WMGO, GREY WORLDWIDE and JWT. My first job was at DMB&B before being headhunted by Trevor Beattie at TBWA.

I have keen creative standards, am fully MAC literate, and I am an excellent motivator and team player.
