Truth & Spectacle
Hello, welcome to my portfolio of work.
I like to make lots of different things and help people create great things themselves.
I'm the Chief Creative Officer of what3words, a company helping everyone talk about everywhere. We’ve built an award-winning in-house marketing team who are setting the standard for creativity in business.
I’m the co-founder of Truth & Spectacle, which helps organisations create powerful stories that inspire action. Their stories have improved products & services, shaped strong cultures, built consistent brands, and helped teams turn strategy into action.
I was a Worldwide Creative Director at Ogilvy London and at adam&eveDDB. Working on Dove, Dove Men, Unilever and Philips, building and leading multi-disciplined and multi-agency creative teams.
I've collected awards from most of the international shows, including Grand Prizes, Grand Prix and Golds for Integrated Campaign, Effectiveness, Cyber, Digital Design, Print, Social, Film, Product and Strategy.
My work has also been included as case studies in TED Talks, marketing textbooks, business books, and parody videos.
I give talks and write about creative business and in-house studios. I also coach creatives to be great business people, and businesses to be powerfully creative. I also draw a decent birthday card.
