About

Hey, I’m Gotham (named after the Buddha, not Batman).

I’m a Senior Creative Copywriter that’s been ‘round the block working with the likes of Spotify, Diageo and Samsung at joints like Leo Burnett, Mediabrands, Acne and M&C Saatchi.

I gravitate toward work that makes me feel something, and outside of ads, I doodle, dabble in film, and kinda went viral once.

After spending four years in London trying to find myself, I’ve recently returned to Melbourne to find myself.

KIND WORDS
(I haven’t paid people to say)

“If you need a talented, egoless, committed, articulate, kind, and passionate creative, you need to get Gotham. Yeah, it sounds like a movie title. But that's because he's a superstar.”

— Emma Robbins
Executive Creative Director at M&C Saatchi

“Gotham is exactly the kind of writer you want on your team. He’s very close to culture with a deep understanding of what makes consumers tick. He’s gifted with words, with the capability to turn dull product proof points into copy that cuts through. He’s very capable with big, ambitious ideas and he’s always looking for ways to answer the brief with fresh and unexpected creativity.

Above all else he’s a great bloke to have a weird and wonderful conversation with. He was a big part of the agency culture at Leo Burnett Sydney and we’d have him back in a heartbeat.”

— James Walker-Smith
General Manager at Leo Burnett, Sydney

“I had the pleasure of working with Gotham for two years and over that time he never stopped impressing me, clients, basically everyone he came into contact with. He's a swiss army knife of a creative - a fantastic writer who is able to approach things from a multi-disciplinary approach. The joy he brings to the culture of an agency is priceless and what is a big loss for ACNE but will be a great gain for his next agency.”

— James Ranson
Creative Director at ACNE London
