Key People

Gail Parminter: Director
A graduate of the late John Gillard's pioneering Creative Advertising course, Gail has 20 years' experience as an Advertising Creative, Digital Copywriter and Creative Head in agencies such as Ogilvy & Mather, Bates Dorland, Ogilvy Action and Saatchi & Saatchi X. She's adapted to the changing industry landscape, but she hasn't lost sight of the fact that the most valuable aspect of great creative work is the idea. She firmly believes that, while talent plays a part, creativity can be taught. The problem is that not many people can actually teach the skills necessary to be able to come up with great ideas. Gail is one of the few who can do it.

He's won stacks of awards and has worked as an Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy & Mather and EHS Brann. His courses are well known for being totally inspirational, but don't take our word for it; here's what industry guru, Rory Sutherland, has to say: "I have every reason to be grateful to Patrick for the fabulous professional advice he has given to me and my colleagues. His is a unique viewpoint derived from his years spent in both advertising and direct marketing; every person I have sent on his courses has emerged from the experience marvelously rebooted and re-energised." Rory Sutherland Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Group UK President IPA
