RARER THAN A UNICORN


Agencies always say that they’re looking for a unicorn. That creative who can do it all. I don’t like that term. Trust me, a unicorn can’t do half the things I can. My fingers are far more nimble on a keyboard that any set of hooves; and instead of a horn, I’ve got ideas in my head. A ton of them.

But what makes me that all rounder that you’re looking for in your creative department? It’s my 8 years of experience working as a designer across print and digital before doing Award school and deciding I wanted to be a copywriter. Unconventional, I know.
Now 9 years into that, I’ve worked in large network agencies and small independents helping clients shape their brands, promote their campaigns and creatively solve whatever business problems they have thrown my way. And did I mention that I’m a licensed marriage celebrant as well? As I said, all rounder.

I’m also a huge proponent of encouraging and supporting the next generation of creatives. Having volunteered as an Award School tutor for four years, I enjoy sharing my experiences and giving them the knowledge they need to succeed in an industry that I love so much.

So why Chris? Because I’m not a unicorn; I’m real. And I want to make great work, every single day.
