About me

I'm Board Creative Director at Publicis Dublin, a long time Executive Board Director at Institute of Creative Advertising and Design, and I sit on the Publicis /Leo Global Creative Council. I was also named a Top 10 Creative Leader in The Drum 2025. Currently ranked n Ireland, No. 5 in EMEA.
I've chaired and judged many national and international awards including Cannes Lions, The One Show, Immortals Europe and the Art Directors Club.
Along the way I've been lucky enough to win hundreds of awards across every discipline including Grand Winner at the Clio Awards, Grand Prix at The One Show, Eurobest and London International Awards, plus back to back Grand Prix at The Drum. There are also a few Gold Cannes Lions, D&AD pencils and other shiny things on the shelf. I've been asked to present twice for Cannes TITANIUM.
At Publicis I lead multidisciplinary creative teams across key brands including Virgin Media, Heineken, Nescafe, Permanent TSB, AXA, Tayto, Today FM.
During that time Publicis Dublin has been named Ireland's number one creative agency by Little Black Book Online, ranked number two in Europe, the top Irish agency at Cannes Lions from 2022 to 2025, and number one Irish agency at both The Drum Awards and London International Awards in 2024 and 2025. It has also been the most awarded Irish agency internationally for the past six years. Top Irish agency in EUROBEST.
Personally I focus on giving brands a distinct personality, creating memorable brand experiences and finding inventive ways to help clients grow their business. Delighted to be the most awarded creative in Ireland.
