I love coming up with engaging ways to promote content and brands.
Hi, I’m Dave nice to meet you. I’m a Senior Creative at Paramount. My role involves bringing marketing briefs to life in entertaining, engaging and unexpected ways. For me there is nothing more satisfying than the thought of creating something that a viewer will not only take the time to watch but also comes away thinking “Oooo, that looks good”.
The majority of my work is for terrestrial broadcaster Channel 5. As senior Creative I’ve a wealth of experience both leading and executing integrated campaigns covering all manner of media. I’m line manager to a team of creatives, helping to guide them to produce work that is on brand, on brief and executed to the highest standard. I’m passionate, hard working and always looking for a fresh creative challenge. I love collaborating with others and see this as key to getting the best possible creative. I love the variety of my role, I get to come up with ideas for all kinds of content, from original dramas to factual commissions as well as channel rebrands. Each year I take part in the first round online judging panel for Promax UK and Promax Europe.
Beyond the bright lights of creativity, I'm a devoted Dad to my two boys, Oliver and Jacob. I’m a keen runner and love nothing more than spending time in the great outdoors.
