Bio
Maddalena Magro
I’ve worked closely with Michael on many projects and accounts whilst at MSL: he is a brilliant and collaborative creative director, who always strives for great work. With always an eye on the strategy, Michael challenges the brief and the team, only to deliver the best creative outcome and he does so in all sort of projects - from the smallest video project to the big integrated campaign. Michael’s ‘can do’ attitude and effective communication skills make him a leader who is trusted by colleagues and clients.

I worked with Michael on the DK Quiz when he was at Clicked and he was a hugely energetic and problem solving designer, and great to work with.
