Scott’s passion for art and design began down under in sunny Australia. Inspired by Mambo’s Reg Mombassa and the raw energy of the Mad Max films, he developed an early love for bold ideas, graphic design, and visual storytelling. Growing up in a smaller city, he learned to entertain himself creatively, building the imagination and curiosity that still drive his work today.
Scott brings deep experience in creating award-winning campaigns, with recognition from Cannes, D&AD, One Show, and Clio. He served as Regional Creative Director for IKEA at Wieden+Kennedy Shanghai, developing senior client relationships across Korea, Japan and China. Here he was known as a creative problem solver who could unstick even the most blocked clients. Fluent in AI platforms and emerging technology, Scott is flexible, adaptable, and comfortable pivoting at a moment’s notice. He values strong senior relationships, actively seeks client input, and isn’t afraid to have the difficult conversations when the work demands it.
In 2025, Scott worked at Droga5 New York on the OpenAI, Chase Bank, and GM accounts, continuing to push ideas at a global scale.
Outside advertising, Scott founded the independent art periodical Kingbrown Magazine, launched the apparel brand Heatstroke Hotel (www.heatstrokehotel.com), and creates installations and exhibitions for galleries in New York, Australia, and Asia.
