With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Taylor is a highly respected creative leader. He joins from tms (formerly The Marketing Store) where he was Global Chief Creative Officer.
Throughout his career, he has worked with some of the world’s biggest brands, including adidas, McDonald’s, Domino’s, Britvic, Unilever, Diageo and Nestle. Andy has also won numerous awards across all disciplines including Clios, DMAs and ISPs.
Simon Hankin, CEO of Trouble Maker, said: “Andy’s hire is part of Trouble Maker’s growth and commitment to our unique model and our goal to keep delivering integrated campaigns that are more effective and impactful for our clients.

Commenting on his appointment, Taylor said: “My approach to creative thinking has always been media-agnostic but so often constrained by defined media plans.

“I’m looking forward to the freedom of working this way and bringing some disruptive thinking to the amazing talent and clients already on Trouble Maker’s journey.”
