Ant as Account Director
About
I help brands unlock growth by bridging creative excellence with strategic precision. With over 20 years leading marketing and brand transformation for global agencies across London, Sydney and Amsterdam, I specialise in translating insight into action that drives measurable business results. I've had the pleasure of working at top tier creative agencies throughout my career including; Wunderman, M&C Saatchi, Droga5, We Are Social, and Anomaly. I’ve guided brands like Ford, Nissan, Netflix, Under Armour, Converse, adidas, Johnson & Johnson, Lenovo, Diesel and Qantas to connect more meaningfully with their audiences, blending data-driven strategy with creative storytelling to build relevance, loyalty, and revenue. My approach is simple: put the customer at the centre, align creativity with commercial goals, and build teams and partnerships that deliver lasting impact. I am a people-focused leader, I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to mentoring my team, fostering their growth and development. I excel in fast-paced, high-energy settings that challenge my strategic and creative acumen. I strive to build strong, trust-based relationships both internally and externally.
