About me

Tony started his Creative career in the music industry, being signed to Manchester's infamous Factory Records with his Band the Space Monkeys in the 1990's.
After this, he has pursued a career in Broadcast Marketing, creating award winning advertising campaigns and Branding for the BBC, UKTV and ITV.
He was Executive Creative Director of ITV's in-house advertising agency ITV Creative where he wrote and produced multi-platform, integrated campaigns for the business, led the creative team and the brand and design team with a headcount of 30+.

He was also pivotal in the formation of the successful commercial unit at ITV Creative, working on brand partnerships, direct to consumer and branded content. Clients include BT, M&S, Nissan, Virgin Media and Sony Pictures amongst others.

He now heads up the Creative Team at the Royal Opera House as Creative Lead for Audiences and Media.
He has also served on the Exec Board for PromaxBDA UK as Creative Director, before moving to the advisory board.
As a writer, he works mainly in theatre, with his first play "The Button" being produced and performed in 2019 as part of the Supernova 8 single act play festival. This year, the plays "Bananas" and "The Members" were performed at the Questors Theatre, Ealing, and the play "Monster In The Box" will be performed at the Richmond Theatre and "The Button" at Subtext at The Earl of Derby, later this year.
