Hi there, I’m Grace 👋
I’m a Scottish creative and art director currently based in London.
I love making ads that people want to keep watching. Ads that are not only beautiful, but undeniably human.
Before the pandemic, I worked in in-house marketing. But decided to give my dream job a shot in 2021.
Since moving into advertising, I’ve gotten up to a fair bit:
I’ve gained a masters in Creative Advertising from Edinburgh Napier
Joined London adland, most recently at The Corner
Went a little viral on LinkedIn as a placement team and won some awards
Turned ideas into live work across video, stills, OOH, press, radio, social, display ads and more
Helped change perceptions on everything from EVs to care homes
When I’m not moodboarding, concepting or on set, you’ll find me either researching hot new restaurants, bingewatching the latest must-see, or being a cat mum to Miso.
I’m always up for a wee chat; say hello at gracecheahcreative@gmail.com
