About me

I'm Sam Shepherd. Not the dead actor, but an award-winning (if you care) freelance Creative Director or Senior Creative - depending on what you're after. I’ve worked in the industry, in permeant roles, for the last 12 years. Having studied in graphic design, I started my career as an Art Director before slowly morphing into a Copywriter, and then doing both for a good many years. I’ve worked in digital, above the line, through the line, under the line. In fact, I’ve ridden that line all over the shop. I can write, draw, design, direct, talk and do pretty much everything expected of a Creative. Doesn’t matter what channel, I can work with it, because it’s all just advertising and it’s all about the idea. I work well with other humans. Especially nice ones. I can CD teams and get work pitch ready. I can equally (and enjoy) just coming up with ideas and bringing them to life - working in to other CDs or ECDs. I can work at your place, or remotely if you can’t stand to look at me, which I understand. So, if you fancy a bit of me, get in touch…PLEASE! I have 2 young kids with expensive tastes. If not, we’re still cool.

  The Man Who Changes MondaysIt’s easy to focus on all the conflict in the world. And to overlook those who bring us together. That’s why, as a brand with care in their DNA, NIVEA are celebrating the people who #sharethecare. And where better to start than London. The UK’s least friendly city.
