ABOUT

I’m a Senior Advertising Copywriter from Glasgow. I’ve lived and worked in London and Sydney for many years but I’m currently back in Glasgow.

Despite the Scot’s traditional suspicion of England, after going to Edinburgh University, I immediately headed south to London and worked at Bartle, Bogle, Hegarty for ten years.

Starting as the Router (or runner), I moved into the Traffic Department, then into Production before working as a Planner.

After pretty much running out of departments, I left BBH to work as a Copywriter at Explosive in London. Then I left the UK.

I lived in Sydney, Australia for 18 years, where I worked as a Copywriter at Droga 5, Saatchi & Saatchi, DDB, M&C Saatchi, Clemenger BBDO, Leo’s, BMF, BWM and Naked.

I've also done a fair few Open Mic Stand-Up Comedy slots and been the MC at numerous weddings. Which I suppose could be seen as other examples of writing copy.
