Simon has worked in both advertising and design for over 20 years. He has experience as a Designer, Art Director and Copywriter. He firmly believes in the power of ideas to transform brands. He has worked with some of the world’s largest brands - Barclays, Reuters, Clarks,
New Balance, The R&A, British American Tobacco and his best friend’s mum, to name but seven.

Simon’s age, true identity and sex are a closely guarded national secret. He is a member of the Art Director’s Club of Scunthorpe and a part-time Ninja.

He is content with his skill set having won both types of yellow. He constantly challenges himself and those around him. But perhaps the talent he would most like to have is Kylie.

He regularly lectures at Universities and is part of D&AD’s educational programme.

Simon lives in Verbier and works in Edinburgh.

An art director by trade Nigel is happy creating ideas for any media, from TV to mobile apps and direct mail to social media.
 
He is obsessive about creative ideas that are customer-focused, consistently challenging everyone to create relevant and engaging creative platforms that provoke conversations.

He has created over 30 award-winning communications from Cannes Lions to Grand Prixs, but he has never had a piece of work that has won a Chip. He did however touch 3 last year at the awards ceremony.
 

Monica has spent her entire career at McCann. Legend has it she was left there in a crib, and since they didn’t quite know what to do with her, they put her to work to earn her food. Others say she’s there because she lost a bet.  Whatever the case, she’s part of the team that has made McCann one of the most creative agencies in the country. Today it is among the top 25 in the Gunn Report.
She built her career working for brands such as Coca-Cola, for which she conceived the hugely popular “Encounter” campaign, and brought home the first Cannes Lion ever given to a ham brand, Campofrio. Metro of Madrid, Greenpeace, Telefonica-Movistar, and the Cancer Association are among her other clients. Moreover, two of her campaigns have been included in the document archives of the Reina Sofía Contemporary Art Museum.
She has won awards at the top national and international advertising festivals: Cannes, Eurobest, New York Festivals, El Sol, Fiap, London International Advertising Awards, Effie, and Club de Creativos (CdeC), and has been a jury member at the main ones—which is good fun because she's usually the only woman.
 She is also a professor of the Master’s in Advertising and Communication at ICADE, University of Comillas.

She is a member of the Board of the Club de Creativos de España (CdeC, Creative Circle of Spain).

B.A. in Advertising and Public Relations, School of Information Science, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain.

Having originally trained as a graphic designer at the acclaimed Norwich School, Matt reached the turning point in his career when he decided that what he’d really liked to do was make the logos of some of the world’s biggest companies as small as possible. Thus a career as an advertising Art Director was born.

After a quick detour through Bucks College, Matt landed his first job at Ammirati Puris Lintas where he stayed until its merger with Lowe Howard Spink in 2000. Six years later he left Lowe to form part of the start up ‘The Red Brick Road’ where he remains today.

Along the way he’s worked with some great clients including Stella Artois, Olympus, Reebok, Heineken, Sky One, Orange and Tesco with varying degrees of success on the logo front.

Born in England but of Italian parentage, Alfredo Marcantonio began his advertising career as a client at Volkswagen. Inspired by David Abbott, the Creative Director of VW’s Agency DDB, he quit his job as UK Head of Advertising to become a copywriter.

In the mid 70's he joined Collett Dickenson Pearce, then regarded as one of the most creative agencies in the world and in 1981 he helped the agency's Frank Lowe and Geoff Howard-Spink to found Lowe Howard-Spink.

In 1987 he joined Wight Collins Rutherford Scott, which added his long name to its already lengthy title, but left when the agency was taken over by Eurocom. He then ran BBDO, until its merger with AMV reunited him with David Abbott and gave him the chance to return to his first love, writing ads.

By 1998 he was Vice Chairman of AMVBBDO in London and Creative Vice President of BBDO Milan and more recently became Creative Director of the Italian Office of Leagas Delaney, a small but highly creative British agency.

As a writer and Creative Director Marc has been involved in the development of some of Britain's most successful advertising campaigns including Hamlet, Heineken, Stella Artois, BMW, BT and Carling Black Label.

He is co-author of 'Remember those great VW ads?' and was invited to contribute to 'The Copy Book', a highly regarded compilation that set out to showcase the work of the world's best copywriters. And in 2002 he took a year out to write “Well written and red”, a book that celebrated the 15th anniversary of the award-winning Economist poster campaign.

In 2003 he joined up with an ex-colleague to launch MPH, a consultancy that helps clients create and exploit successful advertising campaigns.
