Chris Garbutt
Chief Creative Officer
Ogilvy & Mather Paris
I am the Chief Creative Officer and I joined Ogilvy & Mather Paris in 2008.
I started my career at Ogilvy & Mather Johannesburg and then moved to TBWA Hunt Lascaris. I have worked with many different clients from Rock’n Roll radio stations to Airlines, from VW to BMW, from Nando’s Chicken to KFC, from Luxury to fast moving consumerable goods.
I have had the good fortune of training under some of the best in the business. Tony Granger was my Creative Director at TBWA Johannesburg, Robyn Putter was my Creative Director at Ogilvy Johannesburg, John Hunt was my mentor at Hunt Lascaris and Erik Vervroegen was my Executive Creative Director at TBWA Paris.
I have won many awards including Eurobest Grands Prix, Cannes Awards, Clios, One Shows and European Effies on numerous campaigns. And helped Ogilvy Paris win European Agency of the Year at the 2009 Eurobest Awards.
