Hi, I’m Mick Mahoney.

M Creative Industries is the culmination of 30+ years experience in the Advertising and Communications Industry.

In those 30 years, I’ve won over 150 major industry awards from shows across the world. Including a Cannes Grand Prix and a One Show Best in Show. As well as multiple Lions, Pencils, and Arrows. I’ve been a Cannes Lion film judge, D&AD Black Pencil judge, and Chairman of the D&AD film jury. I also created one of the ads that Sir John Hegarty cited as ‘The 5 ads that defined BBH’.

As a creative director I’ve run 7 of the UK’s top 10 most valuable brands. And a number of the world’s most valuable brands. I’ve CCO’d 3 of the most successful network agencies in the UK. And been included in Campaign’s list of top creative directors at each of them.

I’ve set up and run my own brand consultancy. Successfully selling it. And spent the last year rounding out my business experience as a CBO, creating and launching a new sports drink.

I’ve co-written a best-selling book about Creativity. (The Creative Nudge) And last year gave the Guardian Newspaper’s Masterclass on Creativity based on my book. I’m currently writing another book about creativity that explains why it’s a life skill not a luxury and should be taken more seriously by educators and business.

I’m endlessly curious and passionate about the power that creativity has to make positive change. And constantly looking for ways to make it happen through my books, talks, workshops, and consultancy.
