About
I respond to the names Ross or Rosco.
I’m house trained and play well with others.
I'm a Creative Director with 18+ years in advertising, working across Ireland and the Middle East.
I started out as a copywriter before moving into creative direction, and eventually co-founding Misfits in Dubai and Puffr Fish in Dublin.
I've spent those years coming up with ideas, building campaigns, pitching, directing films and helping turn briefs into things people might actually want to watch.
Along the way, the work has picked up awards at Cannes Lions, Dubai Lynx, Effies, ICAD, Kinsale, Loeries and a few other places.
I'm currently based in Dublin and available for selected freelance and contract projects.
Pitches. Platforms. Campaigns. Film. Creative leadership.
