Five things I enjoyed about working with Ted: 1. He’s a great creative. Whether it’s the world of digital or beyond, he’s always full of ideas for engaging punters. 2. His strategic approach. Ted can execute creative briefs but he can also write them. He has a sharp mind for thinking strategically about the objective of campaigns before deciding on the best creative approach. 3. His structured ways of working. He is a gifted creative but strangely also exceptionally well organised. He always very capably project managed his own work. If he says something will be done, it will be done. 4. His expertise. He is well versed in the trends, tools and techniques both for digital comms and in the greater world of consumer engagement. 5. His attitude. He is dedicated and hardworking. He is also a lovely chap. All round a pleasure to work with.

Creative Strategist

Sep 2010 - Present
Ted Hunt has a unique background in creative strategy which actively draws upon two decades of commercial work, a self-initiated practice, and grassroots voluntary work. Ted began his career as a web designer at the turn of the millennium in one of London’s most recognised independent digital marketing agencies, where he learned essential and enduring lessons from both the ‘boom’ and the ‘bust’ phases of the early internet revolution. From these foundations he migrated to a client side role as Digital & Emerging Media Manager at innocent drinks. Effectively operating as a one-man internal digital agency Ted was solely responsible for interpreting and building the digital/social brand of one of the UK's most-loved ethical brands across all UK websites and social channels - taking the brand from having no social presence on his arrival to being awarded No 1 in the Social Brands 100 list upon his exit. Ted currently divides his time between working with sustainable and purpose-driven agencies/brands, and his ongoing self-initiated and voluntary work. Show less
