Alexei Awan,
Associate Creative Director
I’m from SE London with experience working in London and Melbourne on clients across properly fully integrated campaigns. Like, actually, not just buzzword bingo.
I’m proudly from a single parent working-class household, and from a mixed Pakistani background. I’m very passionate about all equal opportunities, and I’m actively involved in driving changes wherever I work, drawing on my own experiences to help.
Over the last decade, I’ve worked in every sector. From trains and education, to charities and soft drinks; across TV launches, influencer-based social campaigns with blue chip clients, or digital ads for start-ups. It’s all in and out of that funnel. Ding ding, more buzzword bingo!
I love pitching, and presenting and I’ve managed teams, mentored graduates, overseen shoots and led branding projects.
I’m forever curious and love illustration, photography, cinematography and art…and also and GIFs (who doesn’t). I‘ve also co-founded an art-based start-up called Airiginals, which brings local art to a new audience.
