Bio
Alf Lee
I've had the great pleasure of working with Andrew a number of times over my career. During our longest stint at McCann, we were the senior creative team on clients like Holden and Gruma Foods. Crooky is simply brilliant to work with. He is a fantastic conceptual and strategic thinker, talented art director and (unusually in this business) a humble fellow. I've also worked with him when he was creative director at Admark. He wore many hats in that agency - creative, account service, strategy, business - to help clients big and small grow to the next level. What I really appreciate about working with Crooky is that nothing ever fazes him. Nothing is ever too difficult. No problem too hard to solve. He stays upbeat and positive, always focusing on the bigger picture. I can think of no creative person that I would recommend more than Andrew Crook whether as an advertising partner for your business or as a leader in your agency.

Andrew is a very talented & experienced art-based creative director. His amiable, encouraging manner helps him get the absolute best out of people he hires.
Fergus Donaldson
Andrew is an awesome talent with boundless enthusiasm and passion for his work. As an Art Director he has a well-trained eye, an appetite for new influences and an ability to get the job done. As a thinker and leader, he is both inspired and inspiring, with both the ability to manage himself and his workload as well as keeping his eyes open for unseen opportunities. He has the knowledge and experience to build small brands from nothing into something as well as a broad range of experience on million dollar and in some cases billion dollar brands. A top guy, Andrew is personable and possesses a fine sense of humour.
