About

I’m Richard Edgerton, a multi-award-winning Creative Director and Brand Strategist with 25+ years of experience building global brand identities for influential organisations. I work at the intersection of strategy and hands-on creative execution—turning mission, culture, and values into clear brand architectures and high-impact visual systems.

I’ve founded and scaled award-winning agencies, led elite cross-functional teams, and delivered significant commercial growth across B2B, tech, sport, and FMCG. From purpose and positioning to rebrands, campaign direction, and corporate messaging, I help teams align quickly, win stakeholder confidence, and create brands that perform in the real world.
