About me
I make things like this www.thiswolf.com & www.thiswolf.com if you like that sort of thing then lets talk. I founded a creative community called HelloYouCreatives.com and gathered a following of 100,000 subscribers and 26,000 followers in my spare time.
I'm a creative type I like to make work that talks to people, no one wakes up wanting to see adverts - so its about creating something that can start a conversation with people not a presentation. I have been lucky to pick up a few awards for my work including a Silver Cannes, BTAA silver, Grand Prix 2013 Eurobest, Cristal Award and Cannes Gold a few DMAs as well as being featured in Contagious and NMA magazines.
But more importantly than that I've made things that people valued and enjoyed as well as making a difference for clients and brands.
I believe in working with audiences to make better ideas. To collaborate over commission. Rather than making cultural impact, I prefer to have cultural integration and help make change with the audience.
