About

About

When the sun rises on the ad land, you’ll find Scott meticulously tending to his advertisements.

Ideas thrive under his watchful eye, no matter how arid the briefing conditions may have been.

His days are filled with hard work, from planting seeds of thought to harvesting 360 campaigns.

He creates ads using modern machinery but also time-honoured techniques passed down through the Muse by Clios website.

Whether fixing a mockup, taming wild feedback, or jump-starting a broken-down joke, his hands are never idle.

Scott also knows when a beloved idea is too sick to save—he handles these moments with compassion and strength in a skipped Google slide.
