I know what you’re thinking.

You’re thinking you won’t read the rest of this in Sir David Attenborough’s voice.

But here we are, and there are his inescapable, dulcet tones settling in.

So relax, and let’s have a quick read, shall we?

This is CJ.

Or Christopher, if you’re his mum and feeling a bit cross.

He’s currently a Creative Director at VML in London.

He’s also an on-again, off-again Mentor for D&AD, Cream, and Creative Equals.

He likes writing. He also likes drawing and designing.

But mostly the writing.

He’s worked with lots of lovely people, in lots of lovely places.

Most recently New York City and Newcastle.

Watch out New Zealand, New Delhi and New Orleans.

Of course, there’s a lot more to CJ than this.

But for an introduction, that’ll probably do.

So let’s say goodbye and thank you to Sir David.

And you can have the voice inside your head back.

Magic.
