Dobson

Creative Director and Art Director. Former Global Head of Beauty at Saatchi & Saatchi and co-founder of atelier (Leo Burnett's luxury arm), with senior creative roles at Ogilvy, VML, The Pharm, McCann, JWT, Spring Studio, and DLKW.

I lead integrated campaigns that live across every touchpoint, building distinctive visual worlds and obsessing over their execution. Work that brought Max Factor back into fashion including refreshing their iconic logo. I convinced esteemed photographer Simon Emmett to shoot Head & Shoulders' first global campaign, establishing the visual treatment used worldwide.

I’ve led and mentored creative and design teams internationally, partnering closely with strategy and senior client leadership to deliver work that’s both beautiful and effective. Work rooted in craft, cultural tension, and an understanding of what makes people stop, feel, and act.

I'm fluent in Adobe Creative Suite and use AI-driven image tools for concept exploration and visual development, integrating these capabilities into my creative process.

I work solo or in long-term partnership with Antonia Green. Eight years and counting.

I'm a Creative Director and Copywriter who's worked at BBH, Ogilvy, Wunderman Thompson, Vayner Media, and FCB Inferno across London and New York. I make work people notice, remember, and occasionally argue about. If it's polite, it's probably not finished.

I specialise in brand voice, positioning and naming. Helping brands stop sounding like everyone else and start sounding like themselves. Work that's sold a product every 2 seconds and crashed websites on launch day (Boots Future Renew), turned a forgotten drink into the most successful campaign in 60 years (Robinsons), and won Gold at The Drum Awards for making invisible pain visible with 'Superflexible Not Superhuman' (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome awareness).

I've been part of winning pitch teams for major accounts including UEFA Women's Football and a £5M healthcare client. I’ve led teams at G2, Ogilvy and Vayner Media. Clients and colleagues describe me as ‘incredibly witty, fantastically clever’, but what they value most is that I keep teams happy and deliver.

Now I work freelance with select clients, often when things feel messy or undefined. Established brands rethinking their voice. Start-ups building from scratch.

At the heart of everything I do is a focus on real human truths. No wallpaper. No fillers. Ideas that cut through noise, shift perception and start conversations.

I work solo or as a team with Shelley Dobson. Eight years in. Still restless.

BEYOND THE WORK

  • Became a Mitra (Sanskrit for ‘friend’) in 2024, marking formal Buddhist practice and training in dharma

  • Fundraised to provide shelters and clothing for refugees, and volunteered on the ground in Calais

  • Ran a half marathon for charity and raised funds for Cancer Research UK (and kept going even at the ugly mile 10 moment)
