Background

About James Andrew

I’m James, a creative and copywriter with 15 years experience based in London. Throughout my career I’ve worked across a huge range of industries both in house and agency side, and I haven’t encountered one yet that I wasn’t able to master. I love what I do, and feel very lucky to do it for a living. A cliché, sure - but it’s this cliché that fills me with a drive and enthusiasm I bring to every brief and every project every single day. I’m also a passionate people manager. Having worked my way up the creative hierarchy, I know the challenges that younger creatives face on a day to day basis, and it’s with this knowledge that gives me the empathy and understanding to be an approachable and understanding creative leader. I bring unity and develop genuine connections in any team I join or lead, because it’s my firm belief that every creative studio works best as a tight knit, thick skinned unit that always has each others backs. This is the part where I‘m meant to condense my entire life and personality into one paragraph, so here goes. I love heavy metal, video games, dystopian science fiction and bad 90s action movies. I’m also from Hull. Yes, Hull - City of Culture 2017, the jewel of the east coast, birthplace of John Prescott, and until recently a consistent winner of numerous ‘Worst Place to Live in the Country’ awards. So there you have it. Are we best friends now?
