Dave Bedwood

Founding partner of former digital creative shop Lean Mean Fighting Machine, Dave brings a mix of digital brilliance, clever insight and plain ballsy ideas to M&C Saatchi’s creative ranks. Former creative director at Tribal DDB, his relationships with Volkswagen, British Gas and The Guardian produced plenty of big-hitter, fully integrated campaigns, while former Lean Mean clients including Unilever, Land Rover and Google continue to enjoy the benefit of his ever-evolving digital innovation - as the only UK shop to be voted digital agency of the year at Cannes, it’s fair to say Dave has a history of leading his team to glory. Along with fellow Creative Director Sam Ball, he was voted number one creative of the year by industry peers. He’s also been featured in the Observer’s Future 500, and been jury chairman at D&AD and Art Directors Club New York.
