Fleur Stoppani

Amina was a complete joy to work with. She had an ability to unpick and discover real human truths, which she then centred creative thinking from. I can’t underestimate this ability as it meant she developed work that drove results and was differentiating. She is someone I would always put in front of my most senior clients as she instils confidence and delivers ideas with passion.

Amina is a hugely talented creative and has been an absolute pleasure to work with over the years. She has this amazing ability to identify that killer audience insight; the human truth can help inform and shape an compelling idea. Uniquely, she combines the art of storytelling with a brilliant creative imagination to create relevant content that adds real value to people's lives. This is all delivered with passion and enthusiasm that brings a smile to your face and rubs off on the people around her.
