Hailing from the damp grays of Oxfordshire, England, Charles Bignell is a borderline-obsessive about the granular joys of craft, and the way details can sing if you let them. After scaling the many stairways of London’s ad scene, along with Amsterdam and Turin, he made the move to Australia,
sun-drenched and surreal.

Charles is fascinated by advertising as a collaboration of minds, so is now seeking an agency equally attuned to how things work, click, and connect.
