Me. Myself. And I

John Aitchison, Aitchisoncreative, Creative Director, Head of Copy

Brilliant mentorship, keen business sense, and creative talent leveraged to deliver award-winning advertising and marketing. 
 

I've had a mixed career. When I was a teenager I worked as a doorman, and a little later on I found myself as a bodyguard for the Saudi Arabian Royal Family (yes, really). And at Uni, because I was near London, I worked part-time as security detail for musicians including Eminem, Marilyn Manson and Britney Spears (oh baby, baby).

But, when I picked up my Student D&AD in 2003 for a Peugeot brief, I knew it was time to hang up my clip-on black tie, and swap up the glamorous lifestyle of flying around the world and 5-star hotels for unpaid advertising placements. And I've never looked back.

I love what I do. For 20 years I've revved up the whole agency team to make the work as joyous and rewarding as possible. As a lead creative I've provided inspiration and mentorship to deliver advertising people can be proud of, advertising the team wants to tell their friends and family, as well as their peers about. And I've done it all while delivering what the client needs - on time and on budget.
