The Creative Partner

One of the greatest compliments I've received in my career came during an introduction by one of my favorite clients to their other executive team members.

During a period of rapid growth for this global scale-up, we worked closely on a number of brand, campaign, marketing and design initiatives. Each was complex, unclear at the outset, and urgent by the end—but we shared the load and delivered.

In her introduction, she described me as “the other half of my brain”.

Not a designer.
Not a strategist.
Not an agency owner.

Something more like a creative partner.

I liked the sound of that.

…

Recently, I’ve gone out on my own again as an independent creative partner.

I’m working with businesses, marketing teams and agencies who need creative solutions to a challenge or an opportunity, but don’t quite know where to start, or don’t have the capacity or capability to get it done properly.

As a creative partner I bring:

Perspective Seeing patterns, connecting dots, bringing outside insight, inspiration, ideas.
Momentum Moving quickly with focus, but without bureaucracy or competing priorities.
Leadership From discovery to delivery—strategy and execution—alongside your team or independently.
