Who Does What

Trefor Thomas leads Brand Advocate UK’s international creative domain. Trefor is one of the UK’s most awarded creative talents, having received over 40 national and international awards, including six Cannes Lions. He’s also a frequent award show judge and has twice judged The Cannes Advertising Festival and the D&AD Awards. He has worked throughout Asia, Australia and EMEA on some of the world’s biggest and best brands and for some of the world’s most creative advertising agencies.

Robin has been bandying words like "bandying" around in the advertising industry for close to 20 years. In that time, he's produced award-winning work for some of London's leading agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi and Publicis, and has still managed to keep his sense of humour about it all. He's responsible for writing some and overseeing all of the agency’s written output. 

With 18 years’ experience in digital production and project management, Simon has delivered award-winning campaigns across every digital platform, from global websites and extranets to integrated advertising campaigns. These have spanned traditional, social and mobile media and have encompassed a diverse range of clients and industries.

A truly digital mind, Jocelyn is passionate about making innovative ideas happen across all kinds of digital media. After moving to the UK from France in 1998, he gained a master’s in Technology Management, before working on social, integrated and digital projects in a variety of agencies.

A true Yorkshire lass with a no-nonsense, down-to-earth attitude, Kate received her education at Oxford University where she studied Spanish and French. After a brief dalliance with teaching in Chile, she quickly found her niche in marketing. She comes to Brand Advocate via Publicis, where she spent over five years working on the HP and Asda accounts.

Camille brings her love of art, photography and design to a range of projects for all of our clients. She joined Brand Advocate after spending two and half years living in Paris and working on creative projects for luxury brands. In her spare time she writes her own design blog.

Gavin’s creative evolution has taken him from publishing and magazine design, through to animation, concept design for advertising, and digital design for mobile apps and the web. He has spent more than 10 years honing his skills working across a variety of different brands, titles and personal projects.

Jessica is the agency’s ears. A devout lover of social media, she listens to everything that is being said about our brands and their competitors out there in the digital world and then translates it all into meaningful trends, insights and strategic recommendations. Over her career in marketing, Jessica has worked at such agencies as Saatchi & Saatchi and Anomaly, and on such brands as Honda, Carlsberg Tetley, Toyota, Lexus, General Millls, Procter & Gamble and Sony.

Shivaun’s background encompasses years of experience in CRM and integrated marketing across the digital and real world landscapes. She is in awe of the power of linguistics to influence people and loves the psychology of human behaviour, seeking out insights and developing effective relationships between people and brands. She has brought this passion and expertise to bear on work for both blue chip and smaller brands, for UK companies and multinational ones.
