Thanks for stopping by.
If you didn't know, I'm Blake Waters - a multi-award winning Creative Director/Copywriter with over 20 years experience in integrated and digital advertising. I have worked at Inferno FCB, KesselsKramer, VCCP, Leo Burnett and BBDO. Helping to develop a vast range of brands such as McDonald's, Amnesty International, Pantone, Co-op, Honda, Budweiser, O2, Diageo, Porsche and Wall’s.
Currently, I’m working at Jung von Matt Sports developing global football related brands such as Google, Hyundai, FIFA, The World Cup, TOPPS and Adidas along with all the big football teams of Europe.
At last count I've won over 55 international awards including Cannes Lions, D&AD Pencils, One Shows and Clios, while also being awarded by the United Nations and having work in the permanent collection of the NYC Poster Museum.
Oh and I must mention I don't believe in creating advertising ideas, instead we should strive to create ideas you can advertise.
And if you're still reading I'm originally from the Midlands. Fully fledged ginger. Used to be a football referee. I travel around the US when I can to watch baseball. Coventry City fan, sad I know. Once chatted to Jay Z in Central Park. Have a beard to look older. Don't like cheese, but love pizza. Own a ceramic duck named Seabream. And I made this website so everyone can see my work and my folks can show their friends and say, “Our Blake did this…”.
