Simon in a few words
I was creative director for some of the world's top agencies. I am now a children's author and screenwriter. I am represented by Casarotto, one the UK's leading talent agencies. I have worked on some of the biggest brands in the world - from Ford, to Unilever, to P&G. I have published a range of children's books about a character called Squarehead, I spend much of much time writing screeplays these days, but happy to work on anything.
I’ve set up and run my own businesses and am digitally literate. I’ve never stopped being interested in trying things that are new and different. I've won top awards for my advertising work and my film work.
What I’m good at: writing and thinking. I love ideas - big and small. I’ve spent many years writing ads and commercials. I launched Microsoft in the UK. Rebranded BUPA from being an organization that was about sickness to one the stands for health. The Wales Tourism Board is still running a campaign I invented for golf tourism. I helped the RSPB increase its membership by stretching its brand from being purely about birds to one that stands for world scale conservation.
My experience means I can work quickly, reliably, wihout fuss. There are few problems I haven't already encountered. I have been there, done that - I can do it for you.
