Bio
Tim Brothers
Phil is a rare creative force. Not JUST your classic "ideas man" but he is ALSO able to step back, assess the broader strategy and ask the critical question "What value does this add for my client (and their customers)"? This ability is as unique, as it is vital to the sustainability of creative industries. And Phil has it in spades. If you have the opportunity to work and grow with Phil –– don't hesitate! :)
Carl Tindall
Phil was an amazing mentor while setting up my Experiential Marketing business. His knowledge, encouragement and strategic guidance helped my start up kick into gear with confidence and speed.
Adrian Sheather
Phil has great perspective and wealth of experience that he can lean on when providing strategic advice, applying not just an advertising and marketing lens, but also considering the bigger macro perspective. He is great at listening to your idea and distilling that into something tangible. I'd highly recommend working with Phil, and I'll reaching out to him again in the future.
