About me

After graduating from UCLan with a Degree in Advertising & Communication Design, Karl had stints at adversing agencies in Leeds & Manchester but was drawn to the bright lights of London (Back in the day - 'The Advertising Capital of the World'). Following 10 successful years at several top 10 global agencies including Ogilvy, DDB & Bates Worldwide and bags full of awards he headed back to his native North, to further his career in some of the region's best agencies. Which brought him to Vivid in Manchester, where he's been ever since, heading up the creative department as Exec Creative Director.

Karl's proudest moments are:

Amassing a hefty 20 years in the industry (without total hair loss)
