Paul Regan LTD

I make ideas sexy. My practice started as a pitch specialist and new business strategist for A-list directors and executive producers who demanded slick, professional and compelling decks that masterfully articulate their creative vision to win international advertising campaigns. As data, digital and tech transformed the ad industry, my role morphed into helping the new guard of tech and CEO founders develop their pitch, positioning and persuasion skills to keep their pipelines pumping.

Copywriter

🎨 Once upon a time, I was a regular copywriter, a gun for hire in advertising. My superpower was distilling complex brand communications into 30-second spots. I rejoiced in the title of Executive Creative Director at agencies like JWT and BBDO. However, I was aware of the declining value of creative in a world dominated by digital, data and accountants. 

📚 The realization that creativity alone wouldn't cut it pushed me to pursue an MBA. I needed to master management and combine creativity with strategy to stay relevant and successful. The challenges that followed led me on an explosive and transformative journey.

🏆 As I continued to grow, I became the world's #1 TVC pitch specialist on Google for A-list directors. My expertise in advertising, branding, and positioning enabled me to produce hundreds of TVCs and win more than 100 international awards. 

💡 I went from being a street creative to a trusted advisor. I learned to support my creative campaigns from real-world data insights and research. Serving as a leadership storyteller, I focussed on creating compelling narratives for top-tier C-suite talent.

🥊  My personal journey of recovery from cocaine addiction taught me a lot about transformation. Clean for 12 years, I understand the power of simple spiritual principles applied consistently over time. This experience allows me to hold space for life-changing transformations, which prove invaluable when working with CEOs and founders.

✈️ Traveling the globe to serve clients in US, Europe, Australia, Asia, and S. America, I trained in local mixed martial arts gyms and attended various 12-step meetings, expanding my perspectives on life and further developing my resilience.

💡 The moment of epiphany came when I realized the impact of my experiences on my work. My understanding of 180° transformation, my strategic and creative direction, and my background in recovery all contributed to my unique approach as a creative director and leadership storyteller.

🌟 Today, I continue to impact others by sharing my transformative journey, insights, and expertise. I am proud of my achievements, including being the youngest JWT creative director in Asia, running creative in 10 markets across four continents, and helping others recover from addiction. 

🚀 My story is one of transformation, resilience, and growth. I work exclusively with leaders who want to learn from my experiences, and discover how a unique blend of creativity, strategy, and personal transformation can make a difference in your own journey.
