Dan Cullen-Shute

Dan started his career as a grad at Ogilvy, then spent nigh on a decade at DLKW, running business in the automotive, financial, charity, public information and entertainment sectors, before spending a quick 18 months running Nokia’s digital advertising globally at glue Isobar. He founded Creature in 2011, and has led the business ever since. He is a member of the Forbes Agency Council, sits on the IPA Council and Membership Committee, and in 2014 founded Le Cure, a cancer charity that has raised nearly £2m for the Royal Marsden Hospital. A proud working dad, Dan is a fierce advocate of the value of flexible working, and of making advertising an industry the world wants to work in: along with the rest of the Creature team, he is quietly - and, often, not so quietly - determined to leave the industry better than he found it.
