DOUGLAS SAVAGE
If the last 24 years working in this changing landscape has taught me anything, it’s the importance of a solid conceptual and strategic footing. Added this, plenty of “in the trenches” production experience has only been a bonus. Whether it’s been in design, video production, UX, photography, illustration, motion, 3D, online or offline experiences; I’m as comfortable in a leadership role as i am in jumping in with the team to get hands-on with design or production.
I originally trained and studied as a visual artist and filmmaker. So it’s no wonder I still believe there’s more to what we do than just advertising/marketing; tapping into something more psychological/emotional in the stories we tell. I think it's our job to better understand new trends, culture, or audience to create more honest creative...or at least get a few laughs in the process.
Freelancing in a variety of agencies and countries over the years has taught me a lot. It's been a catalyst to explore new thinking, trends and creativity. It has taught me how to connect and work well with just about anyone, anywhere and helped me deliver better work.
Anyhoo…that’s a bit about me. I work as a freelance creative director in Berlin and beyond, and in my “down-time” I’ve been developing an “advertising for good” model to bring causes and CSR together, as well as writing concepts for kids TV shows.
