Martin Cleave Creative

The home of Martin Cleave, a concept-driven, smart-thinking, copy-loving, highly-experienced Creative & Art Director. I specialise in developing and exploring ideas for my clients, weaving words and images into simple narratives which talk to the right people. After cutting my teeth on digital in the dot-com frenzy of the late 90s, I spent seven years mastering insight-driven direct marketing before moving on to integrated-flavoured advertising, brand, social, in-store, video and experiential for clients around the globe. I’ve worked with writers, planners, illustrators and photographers, and led creative-teams, designers, developers and studios. My tools of choice are pen and pad, but I’ll make a mouse and monitor sing too. I love to get inside the brief and get my hands dirty, bringing sound single-minded thinking to the message.
