Steve Harrison

Steve Harrison was European Creative Director (OgilvyOne) and Global Creative Director (Wunderman) either side of starting his own agency, HTW. At HTW, he won more Cannes Lions in his discipline than any creative director in the world.

When he left agency life, the UK's advertising trade paper, Campaign, described him as "the greatest direct marketing creative of his generation". Thereafter he explained all in his book, How to do better creative work, which became the most expensive advertising book of all time when it traded on amazon.com at £3,000 a copy. The book is also published in Mandarin, Spanish and Italian.

In 2012, Steve was featured in The D&AD Copy Book which celebrates the work of the top 50 copywriters of the past 50 years. The following year he wrote the biography of the 1960s adman Howard Gossage: Changing the world is the only fit work of a grown man - which, in 2015, was the basis for a full length feature documentary which Steve wrote and directed.

BUNDLE DEAL

Over a six year period, Steve's agency has won more Cannes Lions in its discipline than any other agency in the world. But that wasn't because his creative department was particularly brilliant. It was because they simply wrote better briefs than anyone else.

​

In this workshop you will learn how to put a great brief together. From the two simple questions you need to ask at the very start to the all important single-minded proposition that will drive all the creative thinking. You'll go step-by-step through the process, with numerous examples of effective, award winning work - and the briefs that inspired them.
