About me

Jack Gallon is an award-winning Executive Creative Director with over 15 years of experience shaping standout campaigns for some of the world's most recognised brands. Jack brings a rare blend of conceptual brilliance and strategic sharpness to integrated brand, CX and social work. With 'beige being the enemy' he's swung wrecking balls at bifolds, blown up everything from giant ice sculptures to tiny pieces of popcorn, taken on online trolls and even got a panda to ride a jet ski.

Cutting his teeth at integrated shops such as Work Club and Albion he then spent nearly a decade building and leading the creative vision at MBAstack, where he was instrumental in its expansion into the US. There, he delivered cross-channel campaigns for clients including Royal Mail, Interflora, Visit Britain, and O2, consistently balancing data-driven insight with emotional storytelling. Then as ECD at the Gate he elevated the agency's creative profile through bold work for UK brands such as SMARTY Mobile and The AA, as well as global portfolio brands such as Shell and AkzoNobel.

Jack is a big believer in craft throughout the entire creative process. So, after honing his communication skills at the legendary Watford course he later trained at Raindance film school in the dark arts of film direction. This not only brings a multidimensional fluency to his leadership but has allowed him to co-direct awarding winning films for Shell Helix/Ferrari, Avios and interflora. But that hasn't meant his development stopped there. Now in this ai era Jack has been instrumental in implementing ai into The Gate's work streams and creative process, enhancing creative work rather than restricting it.
