About me

I'm a conceptual Art Director with experience in all facets of advertising both

above and below the line - working on projects from concept through to finished art.

I am passionate about advertising and brand building and understand the challenges

that are involved in creating award winning work.

I was born in the UK and educated in South Africa where I graduated from the University of Cape Town in Graphic Design. After working for Saatchi & Saatchi for five years, I decided on adventure and moved to Namibia to work for Ogilvy & Mather and later Advantage McCann. While working as a senior Art Director for Advantage McCann, I was responsible for mentoring the junior teams and overseeing all creative work leaving the studio.

In 2003 I moved back to the UK. I have now been working in London for the past 14 years. During this time I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on some very exciting brands.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Iain Gardiner
