I care about making great work, in a fun environment, with people and ideas that
expand my perspective.
I’m currently a senior Planning Director at Saatchi & Saatchi London – having worked on the big swinging, full funnel rebrand of EE mobile and broadband, as well as BT, Waitrose, OVO, London Sport and TNT Sports.
I’ve worked in Paris, New York and London for brands like Nike, Youtube, Volvo, Visa and Amazon Fashion. I’m an alumna of LVMH and WPP’s global advertising Fellowship scheme (where I cut my teeth at Kantar, Vice Media Group and AKQA).
I was voted a Campaign Magazine Face to Watch, and have been a central cog on work that’s won big at Cannes, British Arrows, D&AD, APG and the Marketing Society.
Beyond work I’m obsessed with: pop culture, sport, music, making and growing things, fabulous clothes and interiors, cold swimming, my baby son Cass, and friends and family.
Testimonials
Every agency should have an Ophelia. But we’re so, so glad she has chosen to work with us. Of course, she brings that strategist’s talent for distillation and clarity. But the leaps she takes: from brief into territories that are the most inspiring, provocative jumping-off points for every team. Modern creative strategy is all about collaboration – being a hands-on partner to every team, from the first bits of desk research, to the inevitable negotiations with ClearCast. Her commitment doesn’t stop with the work. She’s an incredible mentor, ensuring the next generation of faces to watch.

Incredibly strong strategy for Nike Air Max Day. We were all very impressed.
— AYCA ACUN | Senior Director, Brand Marketing, Nike North America
From on-point brief writing, research and cultural insight to being a ball of energy throughout the creative process, Ophelia is the kind of strategic thinker that creatives and designers love to work with. Thoughtful, smart, bags of fun – and always with fresh perspectives.
— SIAN O’FLAHERTY | Creative Director, The Face Magazine (formerly Refinery29)
Ophelia blows clients away with her infectious energy. She is super talented and we were very lucky to have her at AKQA.
— SARAH CUNNINGHAM | MD New York, AKQA
She’s a badass. I love working with her. Simple as that.
— RESH SIDHU | Resh Sidhu, Global Director Arcadia Creative Studio – Snap Inc. (formerly AKQA)
From her work on Nike where I was worried they would hire her, to teaching the office about comms strategy, to being a content maven with her work on evian and Campari. Not to mention her internal efforts on our International Women’s Day campaign and anti-racism advocacy, Ophelia brought an energy and spirit to AKQA that inspired every one of us.
