Hello, my name is Lee Hempstock and I am a freelance Creative Director, Writer and Director based in Amsterdam. After studying Art, Graphic Design and Advertising I began working in Advertising. Soon after I switched from art director to copywriter to write TV scripts. Now I work on brand positioning, concept campaigns and write scripts for agencies and clients directly. I also have directed commercials, music videos and a fashion show.

Hello, in the last 25 years I've been very fortunate to collaborate with lots of brilliant and inspiring people in advertising, digital agencies and in house marketing teams for global brands. Working as a director I have experience in building and leading teams to produce live events, film content and animation production, always working to support and inspire a positive and productive culture of collaboration.

The last 14 years I’ve worked mostly as an independent strategic writer, developing brand positioning and purpose with agencies and brands and as a creative director, writing and executing global campaigns across multiple markets. Some of the work with various collaborators has attracted shiny awards including 6 Cannes Lions. It’s a blessing to work with nice people on interesting projects at any part of the process from strategy to creative and onto production.
