About me

Graham has over 24 years experience in B2C and B2B marketing communications. Originally from the fiercely Socialist coal-mining valleys of South Wales, Graham loves rugby, rock music and real-ale, and describes himself as a 'social & environmental entrepreneur'. Starting his career in Leeds, he soon found his way down to the bright lights of London where he has lived and worked for the last twenty years. He has held positions in some of the UK's biggest ad agencies, and worked on many household name brands before establishing his own business in 2005. He has worked on briefs that span many industry sectors, including automotive, airlines, alcohol, tobbacco, pet foods, financial, white goods, brown goods, health & beauty, food retail, luxury goods, travel & tourism, fashion and leisure. Graham has concentrated solely on sustainability and CSR for the last seven years, and has become a specialist at taking complex sustainability messages and making them easily understandable to a consumer and stakeholder audience. He still believes that the 'big idea' is crucial to any creative solution.
