Bio

Tyler is an awarded copywriter with over 10 years experience and a bachelor’s degree in Creative Brand Communication from Vega, Cape Town. He has worked in markets such America, Nigeria, South Africa and Saudi Arabia, for brands such as Shell, Puma, and that small mom & pop shop around the corner. Tyler lives in San Diego with his wife, their first child and a little dog, and is looking to get creative in the US market.

Tyler has studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics, lived in Paris, and one time liberated a palm tree from a frozen lake in Switzerland while dressed as a pirate. A Winter Olympic representative for South Africa, he is also a club Dj and once made it to the front page of Reddit. Proudly South African, he is strategically minded and has a laugh that reverberates through agencies.
