NICE WORDS

Matt Eastwood - Global CCO, McCann
“Although we were based in different countries, Steve was one of my go-to creatives. Particularly for solving important and challenging briefs. The best creatives are part planner and part copywriter/art director. Steve has a planner's ability to get right to the core of the task, and a creative's ability to express the idea in a surprising and, often, award-winning way. I'm a big fan.”

Ralph Barnett - National ECD, SapientNitro
”Steven is a conceptually kick-arse creative who has beautiful ideas, loads of passion and a business focused level head, perfect for today's advertising climate. A real pleasure to work with.”

Dan Bye, Group Director of Strategy,
M&C Saatchi
”Steve has talent beyond his years. Not only is he a strong conceptual creative and copywriter he also has a great strategic mind and has the ability to get under the lid of a problem, identify the key insight and then develop the finished creative product. Without hesitation I would recommend Steve and i very much hope we have the opportunity to work together again at some point in our careers.”

Bruce Pywell, Manager,
Campaign & Creative Management, Amazon
”I worked with Steve for two years at JWT Sydney. The projects we worked on count among those I'm most proud of in my career so far, and to a large extent that's due to the level of creativity and partnership Steve brings to the table. The fact that he has as much a strategic mind as a creative one, means he's someone I came to trust when discussing broader business problems, and clients would also regularly request he play that role as well. I'd jump at the chance to work with Steve again.”

Carol Hey, Steve’s mum
”Steve is good at his job, i think, but he’s quite scruffy.”
