Düsseldorf, Germany

June 2020 - Present (3 years 11 months)

Description

I left FCB with the intention of gaining global experience and, after a much-needed sabbatical touring Europe, I was invited to join Proximity Düsseldorf and REDProximity London, both part of the BBDO Group, as CCO and Director.

So here I am now in the beautiful city of Düsseldorf at this prestigious 140 -strong agency (and growing!) working with a diverse and talented group of people from all over the globe.
We've been deep in pitch mode and some have already been won.

The adventure has begun!
