Alan C Drummond started out as a scruffy graphic designer who liked his cool tees and jeans. Progressing and developing his creative process, he was still thirsty for more information and insight to find what a client truly needed.  With a natural curiosity to dig deeper crossing over to the ‘dark side’ of client services and swapping his tees for a suit was the next logical move.  Intense passion and an entrepreneurial spirit Alan has been building trusted relationships, networking and delivering campaigns with results, working through the client services ranks and taking up managerial positions.

Leaving his homeland in search of new opportunities Alan found himself in Kuwait for three years, Dubai for ten years, Oman for six months then back to Dubai again.  He met his wife to be at the Dubai Rugby 7’s, in 2003 they married in Scotland and over the next few years travelled whenever they could.  They now live in the US with their two children and dog, Patch.  Alan now serves as a full time taxi driver for his son’s baseball habit – a sport he still doesn’t understand, and wishes his son would play Rugby instead.

Ten years of management, six of which were running advertising agencies, with multi-faceted management experience across parts of Europe, the Middle East and Asia.  Achieving success through collaboration with internal cross-functional departments, vendors and external agencies.  Setting targets, hiring and training, building teams, nurturing potential and getting the best from coworkers and clients alike.

Making extraordinary things happen.  I ensure accounts are running profitably, the clients are getting the best results and there are adequate resources at hand.  I know how to achieve goals, push creative boundaries and maintain brand loyalty.  I have a natural curiosity to dig deeper, providing my clients with the value, confidence and guidance that they seek in a trusted advisor.
