Global Chief Creative Officer
VCCP Health
London
Brett is one of the most respected and awarded creative leaders in health communications, known for his bold ideas, strategic precision, and unwavering belief that creativity has the power to change lives. Throughout his career, Brett has not only won at every major global award show, including LIA, D&AD, Cannes Lions Health, Clio Awards, The One Show, Eurobest, and Effie’s, but has also served as Jury President and Judge across these prestigious platforms. His influence and commitment to elevating creative standards have made him a trusted voice in the international creative community.
Beginning his career in consumer advertising before moving into healthcare at McCann Health, Brett discovered his passion for merging creativity with purpose. That journey led to the founding of VCCP Health, his proudest achievement, transforming a modest London start-up into one of Europe’s most awarded and admired healthcare agencies, and more recently, expanding its footprint with the launch of VCCP Health New York.
Equal parts art director, copywriter, and strategist, Brett brings an instinct for craft, clarity, and human connection, constantly pushing the boundaries of what healthcare creativity can be.
