Integrated Creative

I turn complex ideas into integrated audience experiences spanning communications, digital, physical and narrative touchpoints. Over 20 years, I’ve worked on the agency and client side at Bain & Company, Novartis, and with many global clients at Jack Morton Worldwide.

My Approach

When people ask what I do, I ask them to imagine a brand they admire; seeing a campaign, visiting a website, attending an event or simply using the product itself. The strongest brands feel coherent across those moments, even when the audience barely notices why.

About Me

Areas of Practice

01.

Brand Experience

Where strategy becomes experience. From Eurovision 2025 to global congresses and sponsorship programmes, I create connected brand experiences that align narrative, design and audience needs.

02.

Communications

Helping organisations turn complex ideas into communication that is clear, credible and engaging. My work spans executive communications, transformation programmes and corporate storytelling.

03.

Creative & GenAI

An agency mindset focused on delivery. From integrated campaigns and brand systems to GenAI-enabled workflows, I help ensure the final experience lives up to the original idea.

04.

Digital & UX

Designing digital experiences that balance structure, usability and storytelling. My focus is creating journeys that feel connected rather than fragmented.
