Hi there! I've been an all-round communications professional for about 25 years - mainly in advertising agencies, including M&C Saatchi, Bates, McCann-Erickson, FCB, and Ogilvy. Fifteen of those years of experience have been at the level of Creative Director / Executive Creative Director, and have involved regional and global campaigns.
Through the years, I've had the chance to work with numerous nonprofits in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA, across a wide range of fields. I'm a "Starred Volunteer" on the US-based Catchafire platform, which is awarded after a sufficiently large number of nonprofits have rated a volunteer highly. (Some testimonials are linked below.) In the past three years, I've also worked with USAID via M&C Saatchi World Services, London, on several projects.
My creative work has won awards at the Cannes Lions, the USA's One Show and Clios, the UK's D&AD awards, and AWARD in Australia. My awards for copywriting include recognition from the UK's D&AD (Writing for Radio Advertising.)
If you need any assistance with Communications or Brand Strategy, Storytelling, Copywriting, Branding & Design, Social/Digital Media, or pitching proposals to companies for fundraising, I'd be happy to help out. Currently working out of Malaysia, but quite adept at time zone management : )
