What people say
"I've known Pete for many years and he’s worked into me on a number of occasions at different agencies. Most recently on a freelance basis as an ACD at VCCP. He has an ability to solve business problems with both a strategic and creative approach. No matter what client or sector you put him on, he doesn't disappoint. Over the years he’s helped me win a social pitch for a bank, created thought-provoking work for a beauty client, and come up with step-change ideas for a global sports brand. Very much an ideas first creative and completely media neutral, he’s also relentless when it comes to crafting work, ensuring that it runs to a high standard. (This is sadly often a lost art these days.) Snap him up."

"What can I say? I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Pete for the last couple of years. He joined for a bit of freelance, soon became permalance, then became an absolute no-brainer to hire. He will throw himself at absolutely anything you throw at him, with energy, a smile and heaps of talent. He loves responsibility and is an absolute charmer. He can wipe the floor with his stand-up. Whether you are looking for a top-notch freelancer or your next brilliant hire, believe me, it’s this guy. I’m going to miss him terribly."

"I met Pete Higgins at Souk a few years ago and was immediately impressed. His clarity of thought, drive and understanding of marketing problems were those of a much older and experienced creative. Since then he's got even better (bastard). So when he came to me with a crazy idea to set up an agency that was going to survive by the quality of its creative output it took me about three seconds to say yes. In fact, I think his arm is still aching from where I tried to rip it off."

"Having worked with Peter at Catch A Fire for over 18 months I seen first hand that he is a talented and passionate creative director who wears his heart on his sleeve - finding great ways to tackle briefs big or small, in a professional and diligent way. Great with words and with a sense of humour to match he's an asset within any creative team."

"I engaged Peter to support TheJobPost in the early stages of our launch - he immediately grasped a great understanding of what we want to achieve in revolutionising the recruitment market. As such, the quality of work and creativity was superb and good value for money as our registrations increased four fold."

"Pete is a very passionate Creative Director with great craft and attention to detail. Leading by example, he”s collaborative and encourages the team to enjoy their work, to have fun and create ideas that get noticed. It was nice working with him and seeing the Penfolds campaign we produced being shortlisted for awards was one of the highlights."
Symone Jermin
Business Director – Studio La Plage
"Pete is a brilliant Creative. His ability to digest briefs and understand the varying categories across multiple projects to then portray this in a creative idea that the clients would undoubtably love, was admirable. Pete is a strategic and creative thinker and writer, great around clients and is really hands on. I really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone."
Zara Camble
Senior Account Director – Catch A Fire
"Pete’s a natural leader who instinctively knows how to bring a team – and a big idea – together. Concepts, design, copywriting, even proofreading. Pitch win after pitch win, Pete’s the consummate creative with an incredible work rate. He can even work an audience – just ask him about the stand-up comedy!"
