Darran Solan: Creative Director | Associate Creative Director | Art Director
I’ve always been in the creative industries - graduating from university with a BA in fine art painting and illustration, and after finding my inner Picasso, I was selected for the legendary Watford College ad course.
Here I honed my art direction and strategic creative thinking before gaining placements at Dye Holloway Murray, JWT, RYCR/Y&R and then landing my first job at McCann London. After 3 years I took up my second permanent residency in the halls of VCCP where I beavered away for 8 years. During that time I worked on global brands such as Cadbury, O2, EasyJet, More Th>n, KIA, Coors Light, Lynx, Shell and Cono Sur wines. After VCCP, I joined Kindred Group as the Lead Senior Creative to work across their 12 gaming brands including Unibet, 32Red and Vlad Cazino.
As an Associate Creative Director I then worked at Haygarth (Omnicom Group) to work across their portfolio of brands, creating global launches before currently working as a Freelance Creative Director // Associate Creative Director.
I now have over 15 years integrated creative & art direction experience in TV, Print, Online film, Website, OOH, DOOH, Experiential & Social campaigns. I am also experienced in Adobe CS: Photoshop/ Illustrator/ InDesign
