I was born in Manchester and after graduating in the North of England, I swiftly moved to London to make my fortune in advertising as an Art Director.
Originally in Direct Marketing, I worked for a variety of agencies including Lowe Direct, Lowe Howard Spink’s DM agency, working mainly on HSBC. SAAB, Electrolux and LloydsTSB. Then later, at Publicis as part of the lead creative team for Hewlett Packard Imaging and Printing for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
After a string of awards, over 50 blue chip clients and a wealth of experience above, below, on, off and generally all over that line, I packed my bags, wife and 2 children, moved to Australia and joined The DM Group.
My time at The DM Group/Hardwire saw the business develop from a traditional direct marketing agency to a fully integrated agency with a focus on digital strategies.
Since I left Hardwire, I've broadened my horizons as a freelance creative, working directly with clients as well as in agencies, and getting involved in brand development and website design projects as well as print and digital advertising.
