Bio

Having worked in branding for the past 20 years, I love brands and creative strategies...especially when they influence people's behaviour and enter the vernacular...Even better...to say 'I helped create that..!' I am passionate about Chelsea football club, red wine, 80's music and travelling (especially to South America!) Glad to be back after my working sabbatical of 3 years in advertising...Branding rocks!
