Different Narrative
Head of creative > today

I’m Tony,  a very experienced Designer, Art Director and Creative Director. I’ve been lucky enough to work on a vast array of different projects, for an even bigger spectrum of clients.  Everything from advertising campaigns, design, brand invention / reinvention and brand strategy to packaging design to annual reports, from good old-fashioned storyboarding to editorial design, art directing photography and TV ads, illustration, radio, digital, presenting work and pitches, maintaining and growing client contact for all of my projects and everything in between.

I started out with markers, pencils and yes,… paint! I don’t rely too much on those talents too much these days but when the need arises they’re still there. Otherwise I work with the usual Adobe Creative Cloud applications.  

More recently I’ve lead or helped lead studios with art directors, copywriters and designers, at one I was once described as ‘the glue that keeps the agency together’ and at another as ‘the most artistic art director I’ve ever worked with’. I’m proud to say that am best known for my talent, sheer hard work and a willingness to go above and beyond.

I’ve worked with some of the best people and at some the best North East agencies over the years. Robson Brown , Hedley McEwan and Different Narrative. I’ve loved being at all of them and there’s something of them all included here

I’m love what I do and I’d love to work with you.
