Hi, I’m Jamie Starbuck. A Creative Director and writer based in London.

I’ve spent 20-ish years coming up with ideas at places like Grey, AMV, the BBC and Havas. I’ve launched brands, led creative teams, written a lot of ads, won a few shiny things and made work for everyone from Bose and HSBC to (My true love) Crystal Palace.

After all that, the bit I still love most is the same bit I loved at the start: finding a simple idea that makes people care. Sometimes that means leading a pitch or shaping a brand. Sometimes it means sitting down and writing the thing.

I also started Hometown Mentors, which helps young creatives get advice from people in the industry who grew up where they did. It’s something I’m pretty proud of.

I’m independent now, and available for Creative Director and writing projects. Let’s chat.
