About
I’m a French, British and Swiss Creative Director with a passion for solving problems in new ways and creating insightful work that people outside advertising actually want to share and talk about. I do this by building meaningful relationships with clients, leading creative teams, setting a clear vision, and helping people elevate their work.
I still love being hands-on when needed: concepting big ideas, writing pithy headlines, shaping captivating scripts, and crafting rationales that make people believe in the work.
Alongside agency life, I’ve taught at Miami Ad School Europe, leading the Integrated Advertising module for two years, and at D&AD Shift, where I co-led an ideation class.
When I’m not in ad land, you can usually find me playing some kind of racquet sport, making cut-out art, or eating cheese.
So if you’re looking for a passionate, strategic and resilient creative, give me a shout.

He is also an excellent craftsman with an attention to detail that is second to none. You couldn’t ask for a better creative, or indeed a nicer guy.”

Creatives Switzerland:
”Working with Gregory on our major clients, I was impressed with his ability to consider – and balance – strategic issues, creative concepts and practical considerations. It was also impressive to watch him shepherd very important and complex campaigns through numerous client presentations and shifts in direction. These “big picture” skills are matched by a keen eye and a real attention to detail.”
- Mathieu Fouvy, Strategy & Growth Director
