Hi,
I am not a fan of lists.
They are dull.
And rarely rewarding.
But I am a writer.
And a problem solver.
So here is a list.
I said writer...
I'm also an art director.
...And a creative director.
I could also add, mildly celebrated author & illustrator.
But chiefly I love ideas.
Ideally, the problem-solving kind.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to bring a few into the world.
Like creating one of the world's most shared memes.
A response to the London riots, that spawned a book, worldwide news coverage, and was shared 6 million times. In a week.
Or creating an adventure book series.
To inspire kids away from their screens.
Now translated in over 22 languages.
Film rights pending.
There's the traditional stuff, too.
Award-winning TV & print campaigns.
And one's I can't even mention.
World-first music videos...
That were actually ads. Check.
There have been launches.
Like giffgaff.
Freeing over 10,000 chickens.
A battery hen for every mobile unlocked.
A bit weird? Yes.
Successful?
giffgaff became one of the
fastest growing mobile networks in history.
And start ups.
Like the feel good bakery.
Buy a sandwich. Feed a child in need.
78,502 meals, so far.
Even a few world records.
Like the world's largest fruit-powered battery for Innocent drinks.
And the world's coldest portrait.
With Wim Hof.
Yes, that's me drawing.
🥶
And finally, I hope, one more.
A list.
That you have read to the end.
Without too much pain.
Thank you for reading.
Ideas.
And lists.
Readily available.
