A creative before he was a CEO, Jon was the first 'digital native’ in the UK to run a top tier traditional advertising creative department. He developed the first interactive TV ad ever broadcast, the first mobile enabled posters and the iPint, the most popular FMCG app of all time. His personal work has won over 300 international awards, including Cannes, D&AD and Effies, and He’s either sat on or been chairman of pretty much every international and local jury there is, including D&AD & Cannes Lions multiple times.

He began the renaissance of Grey London in 2007, and then moved on to do the same across EMEA. Creatively, it became the best performing region, year after year, of the Global Agency of the Year. He also deployed a 2000 strong pan-EMEA co-creation platform that allowed them to put the best team on the right job regardless of the constraints of geography. And out of all that. The Liberty Guild was born.
