Almost immediately after arriving in South Africa, I was tasked with setting up Metro’s Cape Town office. We quickly built up the business, working with a major financial services company, a pan-African telecom and a few other smaller clients. This was done alongside the highly respected strategist Josie Fisher; and with the support of Metro’s founders and leadership Paul Warner and Alison Deeb.

We had an incredible and downright wild 1.5 years, bringing together a formidable team of creatives, some brave work, 20 staff members, and creating an office which was featured in design magazines.
