New York, USA: has it all - culture, spaces, architecture and action;
Courcheval, France: great skiing.

5.) What brand campaigns can you think of that have recently interested you? If so, what were they and why?
Carlsberg 'If Carlsberg...' great creative.
Guinness - 'Good things come to those who wait' - great execution (but clearly very costly). Blimey, it's all booze.... urm, ...
Audi R8 Spyder, 'Mirror, Signal, Outmanouvre', fantastic ad and strapline for one of the most desirable of cars.
Apple iPad or iPhone. Just marvel at the innovation and technology.

6.) What is the most effective way you would be drawn towards a brand? ie- Online; via social media, email, blogs. Or offline; print, editorial, advertisement. TV, bill boards etc.
Good creative, in any media, would appeal, but it is so rare these days. I think TV still has the most impact for me, but a good viral can beat all.

9.) Who influences you and why? ie-famous or celebrity
Nadav Kander, photographer, love his work; Henri Cartier Bresson, same; Banksy, for his wit, irony, and for playing the art game so well. And his work, of course (ironically, one of my favourites is a blank billboard with the words "The joy of not being sold anything" written on it. Resonates well with me - all this advertising can really get on your bloody tits sometimes.

Walking, hiking, jogging, cycling, fly fishing, motorcycling, gardening.
