4. MY JOURNEY In 2000, I was given the brief by Ogilvy London's Chairman to “bring Ogilvy into the 21st century. My first four years with Ogilvy saw me overhaul the agency’s broadcast and video-editing capabilities; taking them from analogue to digital. With the creation of Redworks Broadcast. Ogilvy London now leads the agency’s global network in the management and broadcast of digital assets.

I started my career in advertising twenty-three years ago at two of London's most traditional and creative agencies. Over the last four years, I have built up RedWorks Broadcast (previously Domain), Ogilvy London's digital hub. RedWorks Broadcast covers all broadcast and video editing (on and off line) and includes digital broadcast global delivery 2005 saw my focus shift to new media, exploring and exploiting 360 marketing elements on all evolving media platforms. Ogilvy now regularly produces non-traditional advertising: from long form content, flooding Second Life, live webcasting with Girls Aloud, streaming, podcasting and digital escalator panels to name but a few. Myself and my team have recently launched OgilvyOne’s Digital Innovations Lab to spot talent and bring innovative ideas to market for their Brands and have also launched Unilever's Innovation Lab at their Headquarters in London in March of this year.
