Al Young, Creative Partner and co founder of agency, St Lukes will be joining Bristol Creative Director Network members for dinner on 26th November to chat “how to get the best out of your creative team”.

About Al
After college, Al spent three years as a commercial writer whilst creating comedy and stage-plays in his spare-time. In 1990, he enrolled on a D&AD Workshop and was bitten by the advertising bug. He went on to write a number of famous advertising campaigns for Boots 17, IKEA, Fox’s Biscuits, COI, Mothercare and BT.

Al is a founding member of St. Luke’s and after his first year as Creative Director, the agency was voted Campaign’s agency of the year. In January 2001 and 2002, Campaign magazine listed Al as one of the UK’s ten “hottest” Creative Directors. In 2004 Al was elected to the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising Creative forum and in 2005 he was voted onto D&AD’s Executive Committee. In 2005 he also Chaired both the Newspaper Society’s Creative Juice awards and Radio Advertising Bureau’s Aerial Awards.

His approach to advertising attracts considerable media attention, and he is interviewed regularly by the national press, television and interviews with him have been broadcast on the Today Programme and Pick of the Week on Radio 4.

Al is now active on the lecture circuit , runs D&AD workshops, delivered talks to MA students at St. Martin’s School of Art and at the National Film Theatre.
