Favourite Ad
Mother’s ‘Blackout’ spot for Orange. Generates warm memories of heading home from Manhattan in August ‘03 and getting sidetracked by a 17-hour spontaneous urban street party.

Favourite Book
Alain De Botton’s Essays in Love. Pure self-indulgence.

Favourite Album
The Doors’ Soft Parade.

Favourite TV Programme
Test Match cricket. Epic; exhilarating; absorbing. Often heartbreaking.

Most Humbling Experience
Three years of account management.

The Lowdown
Returned from New York in 2004 with a fraction more wisdom. Now reports for Campaign mainly covering creative agencies.
