The best buzz, I find, is acquired from coffee that's so strong you could dance a donkey on it .. usually consumed intravenously between the hours of 6pm and 1am in the Impact Media offices.

Working with Cleona (Lucey) who has worked with Erik Spiekermann (the man is less of a guru and more of a God)

Your one secret (but non-work related) talent.
That is going to remain just that. A secret.
What’s your favourite ad of all time?
For the feel-good factor it's got to be the vintage Budweiser/Clidesdale Christmas campaign. Ignoring all controversy, I love the work that has come from the Sony/Fallon/Passion Pictures collaboration.
