“I first met Brian when we were in a pretty dark place (metaphorically speaking). It was one of those do-or-die situations where the project had drifted out of control, thanks to months of torture and persecution, into something no longer comprehensible or discernable. Brian joined an assembly of sages and gurus, who spent a few days thrashing ideas around. He said very little, but at the end of the session offered to commit some of his thoughts to paper. The next morning he arrived with one of the most liberating, clear and articulate pieces of strategic thinking, I’ve yet to come across. The rest, on that particular project anyway, is history! The work went on to be loved by our client and resulted in one of the best campaigns ever produced by that particular client. Brian challenges and questions everything, and is a bastard of a critic, but if you don’t mind that sort of thing, you won’t find a better instigator, or ally, of great work. I can’t recommend him highly enough, and would work with him every day if only he would agree to it! Gerry Human, ECD Unilever Worldwide, Ogilvy London”
