Hi, I’m Tom.
After spending most of my career in London, I decided on a move to Dubai around 5 years ago and never looked back.
I’ve worked mostly as a copywriter but have a strong eye for craft, and like to be involved across all aspects of execution. I’ve worked in every ad medium conceivable from TV, PR, events, print, digital outdoor, radio, online content, emails and even, dare I say it, web banners.
With experience above and below the line, at agencies such as WCRS, VCCP and BBDO and currently FP7/McCann, I’ve continued to sharpen my cerebral pencil working with clients both big and small. From F1, Golfing and Olympic champions, to winnning business with elite luxury brands like Corinthia and Rolls Royce, to the no nonsense ones like William Lawson and flyadeal. I’ve even dabbled in music video direction with platinum artist Charlie XCX, and over the years, learned a truck load about how to make a good idea great.
