Bates Adam’s Summary

Creative Director of First City Advertising
'Creativity without Borders'

WHAT I DO
Have fun creating and producing UK and global integrated marketing campaigns. Be it a blog or TV commercial, poster or online game, brochure or banner, ID or BEBO, it has to excite. Creating and presenting creative concepts is what I love and I have been lucky enough to have travelled across Europe, US, Middle East, Russia, New Zealand and even Leicestershire to do this! Ultimately, I just find new and exciting ways to 'touch' the customer throughout their day... often unawares.

WHAT I BELIEVE
Life is too short not to enjoy it. So I don’t work with people or products I don’t like. Political parties, cigarettes; forget it. If I like a product I really like it. And if you are having fun you think freer. Which creates a great buzz. Something that you can’t put your finger on, you just sense it. Try it sometime, you will enjoy it. I promise.
