ABOUT 2

I've worked in advertising as a copywriter since before the Y2K bug wreaked havoc on humanity.

In that time I have created a wide array of campaigns for the AFL, launched the Big Bash League for Cricket Australia, re-thought what the University of Melbourne stands for, electrocuted people’s faces for the Melbourne International Film Festival (no, really!), created the global Wrigley’s Extra “Food Creatures”, made a pub with no beer for Schweppes, and launched the first ever truly funny Christmas Crackers for Camp Quality with jokes written by comedians.

In 2016, I was the 16th most awarded copywriter in the world (and the highest ranked in Australia) which made my kids very proud indeed. Well, they said they were. I'm still not sure they were telling the truth- which proves they really are the children of an ad guy. 

IDEAS FOR HUMANS IN A WORLD OBSESSED WITH AI

Everyone has AI now. So AI isn’t the advantage.

The advantage is a human brain that’s spent decades noticing weird things, making strange connections, getting it wrong, obsessing over problems, waking up at 3am questioning the point of existence… and occasionally finding the idea nobody else saw coming.

That’s what I’ve been doing for some of the biggest companies in the world for more than two decades.

Big ideas. Big results. Human as hell. Let’s go!



a big idea for a small brand can launch it TO IMMEDIATE FAME.   A big idea for a big brand can send a company into the stratosphere.

You really don’t need six-months of strategy.

You don’t need endless meetings. You don’t need a 200-page slide deck.

You need creativity, vision, and trust.

I’m betting you’ve got to where you are by being bloody good at what you do… by making decisions based on your own intelligence, experience, and instinct.

So, don’t pay for all those costly overheads and people being trained on the job. Cut to the chase, get to the source, and create magic that moves mountains.

It’s really that simple. Because the biggest and best ideas are the simplest ones to explain. They just ring true.


How to know if you have an idea that will deliver BIG results.

A truly BIG idea lays at the intersection of these 3 worlds…

BREAKTHROUGH
It will be so simple and powerful you’ll think, “How did I not see it before?”

IMPACT
It will leave an impression. First on you and your team, and then on your customer.

GOOSEBUMPS
It will set your heart racing and make you want to tell everyone you know.

GO BIG.
Everything else is a waste of money.



A HUMAN IDEA WORTH SPREADING

For a taster of how I can help create BIG waves, watch my TEDx Talk that was made a global “Editor’s Pick” by TEDx itself. As you’ll see, when you work with me, you won’t just get BIG ideas and BIG results, you’ll also have BIG fun.
