About Jen
Strategic. Ambitious. Award-winning. Three things that describe myself as a Chief Creative Officer. And more than likely, a thousand others.
But that’s where the similarities often end.
I don’t do things the same way the majority of CCO’s do, because quite simply, as a female CCO – I’ve never been in the majority. As a creative leader, I refuse to accept that the greatest ideas are always going to be mine – or from people who look and sound like me – or like the same things I do. I think the industry, the brands we’re representing, the people we’re talking to and the creatives we’re working with, deserve more than that.
Having been in the industry for over 20 years, I’ve created iconic, culturally-relevant brand experiences, for some of the world’s most-loved brands. My work has been awarded at Cannes Lions (incl. Grand Prix), D&AD, One Show, The Clios, the Effies, Fast Company, New York Festivals, The Webbys. I've also been on several award juries, including Cannes Lions (Glass and Film), D&AD, One Show, The Clios – and have been invited to speak at events including Cannes Lions, D&AD and the 3% Conference.
I bring commercial firepower alongside creative vision, and can develop business, win pitches and grow client relationships in any market I’m in. I can hold the room with a great idea, and close it with a compelling growth story.
And having been dragged up on the land in Australia, I have an appreciation for down-to-earth honesty – and a somewhat questionable sense of humour.
