About Stu.

Over the past 14 years, I’ve worked across integrated campaigns for all sorts of brands, from alcohol and tech to sport, retail, fashion, financial services and government. Safe to say I’ve covered a fair bit.

I’ve learned my craft at places like VCCP and TBWA, and more recently helped shape the creative output at The Gate as an ACD where I lead as Creative Director on SMARTY, The AA, The Royal Mail & AkzoNobel.
