This is a portrait of me by my 6yr old daughter – it’s quite accurate :)


Christian Horsfall

Hello. I’m Christian, Executive Creative Director. I’ve worked at top agencies in London, Toronto, Hamburg and Johannesburg on iconic brands like Nike, Dove, BMW, Pizza Hut, American Express and Nando’s.

I have been fortunate to win well over 100 awards, including two Cannes Lions Grand Prix trophies (one for Art Direction, of which I am particularly proud), a D&AD Yellow Pencil, a One Show Best in Discipline for Creative Effectiveness, a Grand Clio for Creative Effectiveness, a Grand LIA, and 4 golds at the Effies.

Prior to my current – slightly grandiose – job title, I was an Art Director and a Design Director. I still love craft. I love ideas. I love making things. And I love being part of an amazing team.
