I’m Pauly, a senior creative (writer) at Ogilvy.

I was born in Gateshead, but brewed in London.

I didn’t do the usual route into advertising.

I did do a stint as a CD once I got here.

Then I made Ogilvy my home.

I’ve been doing award-winning work, winning global pitches, clocking up likes on social, writing huge brand platforms and creating change for non-profits for well over a decade now. And still love it.

I’m also still coming to terms with not being Eric Cantona.
