Tom works across Saatchi & Saatchi’s worldwide digital capability and is based in London. He has worked across the S&S network, with both a worldwide focus across network clients for integrated creative, strategy and operations, and an EMEA focus with respect to UK and European clients to develop integrated digital initiatives and programs.

The North Dakota native has been a Creative Director for Saatchi & Saatchi since joining in Wellington, New Zealand in 1998. He was appointed in 2002 to the Worldwide Creative Board of Saatchi & Saatchi and leads the creative growth of Saatchi & Saatchi’s worldwide digital team, adding new teams and capabilities and forging worldwide partnerships with best-in-breed creative partners. Before joining the network, Tom was a lecturer and part of the faculty which established Wanganui School of Design in New Zealand, one of the first creative-centred interactive Degree programmes in the world.

Tom is a multiple Cannes Lion winner across outdoor, cyber, media, direct and promo for web and mobile work, and has judged, run Juries and been awarded internationally. Tom fell in love with type in college and has designed fonts for nearly 20 years, with work appearing in RayGun magazine, The End of Print and CSA Archive/Design. His fonts have also spelled stuff in designs for Swatch, Sega, Toyota, Levi’s and Burton Snowboards.

In 2007, Tom was the President of the Cyber Lions jury at the Cannes International Advertising Awards. This was Tom’s third Cannes jury appearance, serving on the 2002 Cyber and 2006 Titanium juries.

Tom lives in a converted 19th century church in London, collects comics (200K and counting), snowboards and recharges his batteries whenever possible at his humble, entirely solar-powered house on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand.
