Partners
Stuart has been fortunate to work alongside some of the advertising industry’s trailblazers, with former bosses going on to set up the likes of Adam & Eve and Uncommon.
Creative and inspirational account people, planners, production partners, clients, directors, photographers and fellow creatives have all helped shape Stuart’s busy and productive career.
He’s appreciative of all the know how, tips and tricks, skills, as well as the working relationships he’s picked up along the way.
'Mini Agency'
A recent project was a good example where Stuart created a ‘mini agency’ just for a client’s project. After selling in a new creative proposition he put together an efficient, small team with a producer to help manage a stills and film shoot, an editor and talented grader, resulting in a polished finished job.
Whatever a project needs he can pull in additional expert help, as and when required. Or working collaboratively just as well with an existing team or in-house set up.
Copywriting
Copywriter Graeme Cook has worked together with Stuart for a little over 3 decades, so if a project would benefit from his expertise at either the ideas stage or later writing social post copy for example, then let’s get him onboard.
Music Searches
Graeme has a forensic memory for music and can be credited with helping find many of iconic tracks that made many of our scripts come alive.
There’s also several well established working relationships with specialist music search companies to draw on to help find that killer track and help managing any licensing.
Mentoring
Stuart is also looking to pass on his wealth of experience to young budding art directors out there. So if anyone is, or knows of any aspiring art directors or creatives looking for a mentor then please send them his way.
