Multidisciplinary Creative Director
For over fifteen years, I’ve been sharpening my skills at some of London’s most creative and culturally-forward ad agencies. Starting out as a humble traditional copywriter, I followed a squiggly career path, which has shaped me into a unique, hybrid creative, blending expertise in storytelling, entertainment, technology, and live experiences.
So, does that make me a highly skilled generalist or a multi-skilled specialist? Correct.
Just think of me as a professional MMA fighter trained in an array of deadly disciplines, any of which I can use to surprise attack a brief. Only less KOs. More keynotes.
As a Creative Director, I have crafted innovative, award-winning projects, collaborated with world-class talent, and wrangled complex global campaigns with more moving parts than a Rube Goldberg machine (if you don’t get the reference, google it.)
Since May 2019, I’ve been freelancing as a creative director, wandering from agency to agency like The Littlest Hobo, (same again) but with my own laptop. This has given me the chance to work with an incredible list of agencies and clients while also stealing tricks from some of the very best in the business. Prior to that, I was a Creative Partner at Sunshine, where I also ran the live experience studio. For the full saga of my career, please visit my LinkedIn page.
Based in London, I'm currently on looking for freelance and full-time opportunities, so please get in touch: simon@bird.me
