This month, we’re celebrating our latest MVP, Olivia Phillips!
From deep-dive brand strategy to global award-winning creativity, Liv’s impact is felt in every room she enters. Whether she’s solving complex client problems or competing against the best young talent in the country, she brings a level of passion and insight that is, quite literally, world-class.
Every month, we crown the colleague who’s gone the extra mile. This time, the team has spoken: the MVP title belongs to Olivia Phillips, Creative Strategist. Between beating 150 teams for a spot at Cannes and driving our three-year strategy forward, she’s proving that growth really is a choice.
Representing the UK at Cannes Lions
Alongside Marco Choi, Olivia became a winner of the UK Young Lions Digital competition. Having beaten over 150 other teams, the duo are now heading to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity to fly the flag for StrategiQ and the rest of the AMIN Worldwide network, competing for the global title.
The brief challenged entrants to create a campaign platform that would inspire advertisers to invest in trusted news media. A real strategic and creative problem that demanded both insight-led thinking and bold execution.
Liv is known across the agency for her ability to hold space for new ideas and see exactly what others might miss.
Here’s what the team had to say:
“A huge congratulations to Liv on the Cannes Lion win (mega!). I love working with Liv as she always brings so many ideas to the table and a willingness to hold space / see where a conversation, an insight or an idea goes. What a star!”
“The focus on Cannes award work and the impact that has on our 3 year strategy is brilliant.”
“Collaborating with Liv is just brilliant. I love how differently we think and ideate, she sees what I don’t. That’s often where the magic happens! Her creativity and passion are phenomenal and inspiring, and that’s why she keeps reminding me of the reason we love being creatives.”
