I made Adam Scott puke at 200mph.
I’ve written jokes with David Walliams and Matt Lucas.
I got Arnold Schwarzenegger to crush my work in his tank.
I changed the British government’s immigration bill,
Caused a decade-long rift in the British monarchy,
And launched an activity tracker for slackers.
I created a billion dollar idea for IBM (it’s in the pipeline… watch this space),
And sold a royal memorabilia mug to Prince William.
I’ve launched breakfast for KFC, and lunch for Domino’s.
Worked with IBM’s chief genius, who said “Adam, I haven’t the foggiest idea how Watson works”.
And sparked very detailed death threats from the Left and the Right.
I relaunched live gigs after COVID,
Bottled fresh rainforest air,
Put an elephant in a pensions ad.
I landed Apache attack copters in a local school.
And put an ad on a tiny island where only 2 people would see it.
I’ve been on Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton, Ellen Degeneres, and Dragon’s Den… twice.
I’ve boasted Britain’s most prolific serial killer as my GP. And survived.
I’ve been an art director, a copywriter, a creative director.
I’ve even been a storyboard artist and a children’s author.
I’ve worked in the world’s best agencies, from BBH London to FCB Chicago.
With the world’s biggest brands, from Audi and IBM, to Cadbury and O2.
I’ve worked with Tim Delaney, who ‘quite liked’ my print ads.
I’ve been called the Shakespeare of Manifestoes, the Johnny Rotten of Ideas.
My work’s been featured in Luerzer’s Archive, CNN, and The Sun.
And I’ve won a bunch of major awards along the way.
But my best work is still to come.

Roderick Fenske, Creative Director, St Lukes:
“I have known Adam for nearly 14 years now. He has always surprised and delighted me with his very distinctive and often times hilarious creative work. He is a unique individual in this business in that he is incredibly kind and seems devoid of any ego. He comes up with these amazing ideas but never really flaunts them. Indeed, he lets his work speak for itself. Refreshing. And you couldn’t meet a nicer more hard-working guy. A true creative talent in every sense. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Adam.”
Nigel Roberts, ECD, Leagas Delaney:
“It was a pleasure to work with Adam. During that time, he produced a raft of great ideas. The ones that saw the light of day were amongst the best work that Leagas Delaney produced. Adam is a great creative thinker, always finding ways to stretch the boundaries. Which is why he would be an asset to any agency’s creative department.”
Tim Delaney, CCO, Leagas Delaney:
“Adam possesses an engaging personality underpinned by a very keen intelligence. He is able to work across all channels with absolute ease, producing a great wealth of highly original and effective ideas. He is inventive beyond the realms of advertising- ask about his Royal Wedding Mugs- and he is always prepared to go the extra mile. All in all, a responsible and uniquely talented addition to even the very best creative department.”
Sarah Craig, Vice President, Warner Bros:
“Adam is clearly highly accomplished in his field in addition he is personable, intuitive and above all collaborative. Our brief was layered with the complexities of multi-industry stakeholders. Adam’s response was simple and delivered our challenging objective.”
Mark Denton, CCO, TBWA:
“Adam was not only a pleasure to work alongside but I was also impressed with his keen creative brain. He’s both an innovator and a great collaborator; diplomatic, but at the same time he never loses sight of the big idea. I’d whole-heartedly recommend Adam to anyone who needs enthusiastic and muscular creative support.”
David Roth, Creative Director, VCCP M/H:
“There have been two times I have been absolutely manhandled by ‘the competition’. One was writing manifestoes for Oculus at AKQA alongside Adam. Adam is super-talented at many things and a great all round creative. Super funny writer, also very charming. Full stop. But the fucking manifestoes this dude pumped out were devastating. I genuinely felt like I was going head to head against Shakespeare reincarnate, sent back to the 21st Century to inspire us about a virtual reality headset. Literally got feedback from the ECD who said: I wish I could phrase this more delicately, but can you just try and write more like Adam?”
Todd Durston, Creative Director, FCB:
“Adam is that guy that always presents an idea and you think, “crap! I wish i came up with that.” He’s got a great ability to look at things from a different angle, yet keep it relatable. (writing this reminds me of his LinkedOut idea. ask him about it.) At first I blamed his success on his English accent, but i’ve come to admit that he really is a creative powerhouse, however his voice may sound. He’s tireless and collaborative and really great to work with.”
