Creative Services Manager

1989 - 1992
I was trained as a buyer for creative services with integrity and panache including photography, film, retouching, illustration and design. I ran a production team and we worked on high profile campaigns for well-known brands including British Airways "The World's Biggest Offer" where BA gave away every seat on every international flight to and from the UK, including Concorde, on 23rd April 1991. This was around 50,000 free tickets. I commissioned over 50 international photographic shoots in under two weeks as part of this campaign. Saatchi taught me that 'Nothing is impossible'! Show less
