Things other people say about me

I worked with Mike for several years whilst he was holding the reins at the DMA.

His creative nous and writing skills were central to every DMA Awards campaign we produced together down the years.

He was adept at taking a creative concept, and making sure that his team iterated the idea across multiple media channels for multiple audiences.

It was his calm and organised orchestration of things i that meant we had successful Awards campaigns, year in year out.

It’s his world, we just live in it.

Although he never shuts up about Everton, I had the pleasure of working with Mike for a number of years.

Under his guidance, I learned grew as a designer.

He’s an exceptional leader who is always encouraging and supportive.

Mike has a wealth of knowledge and experience in branding, creative, copy and content.

Shame about the football stuff.

During my time at the DMA, Mike was a great manager as well as a brilliant copywriter.

He was always ready and willing to help and guide me whenever I hit a hurdle with a project. And always willing to help us out

Mike built and led a great team at the DMA, and all of us – copywriters and designers alike – learned so much from him.

Mike really cares about getting the creative output right and finishing every project to a high standard. He crafts unique concepts and ideas and injects creativity into all he works on.
