Ben is one of the region's top creative leaders, known for his inclusive leadership style and strategic rigour. Over the years he and his departments have won numerous Australian and international creative and effectiveness awards. In 2015, Ben was voted Campaign Asia’s Best Creative Talent for Australia and NZ. His inspiration is the reader, the viewer, the listener and the clicker; our raison d’etre, who for the most part, is bored, insulted and uninspired by what our industry produces. Ben’s recently released The Pitch, a novel about climate change, advertising, politics, love and a vertically challenged limo driver is a must read. And for those who enjoy much shorter stories and the occasional well priced high quality tipple, his blog wineunder20lifeover50.com is made for you.
