I've worked in agencies across London and Melbourne for over two decades.
I love advertising - I love people and creativity and business problems. I love bringing them all together to make good stuff, better.
I learnt the Account Service ropes at the extraordinarily creative place of St. Luke's, London. I then earned my 'big brand' stripes on Marks & Spencer at RKCR/Y&R.
Back in Melbourne and I had an almost-decade at George Patts. A truly special time where I met some of the most clever ad-brains and made many of them my friends. As Head of Account Service at Leo Burnett, I started to really learn how an agency was run. As Head of Client Service (and temporary General Manager) of Saatchi & Saatchi Melbourne, I actually did some some of that agency-running.
I've had three career breaks: one, to have a baby; two, to have cancer; and three, to write a book. All of them have had their highs and lows ...
I've been in this industry for 22 years and I still love it. What a nerd.
