Bio
James Carr
Karl is a brilliant senior creative. He takes everything in his stride and never seems too busy to lend a hand - even when he's too busy to lend a hand. He's a lovely guy who is easy to get along with and is a great leader and mentor to less experienced team members. He's responsible and very hard-working, someone you can always rely on to look after anything from the smallest bit of copy to the biggest conceptual briefs and his presentations are always well thought through and professionally delivered.

I have worked with Karl for the past 14 months and I have found him a most hard working and diligent copywriter. His idea generation and problem solving approach to work is second to non. He's also calm and very pragmatic under pressure. In my opinion he would be an asset to any creative department. It’s sounds like he is almost perfect, but he is an ex-Liverpool supporter and that’s something I cannot forgive.
