Peter Cundall

A Life in Words

Advertising

Peter was headhunted to come back from New York to the London office of BBDO, then also one of the top five American ad agencies in the world, as an Associate Creative Director and Copy Chief

Six years later he was offered and took a Creative Directorship in the London office of Bates, yet another of the massive American global marketing set ups.

Eventually Peter decided it was time to set up his own consultancy and did - Peter Cundall Associates - which was soon busy providing top level creative work to clients direct. He had also started to be creatively active in two other areas – Poetry and Other Writing

The William Pears Group is one of Britain’s largest private companies. A wide variety of creative work has been done for them over many years.

Peter wrote many tv commercials, including the marketing launch of the nearly derelict area that was to become Docklands. He also won first for cinema at the Cork Film Festival, second at Cannes (advertising) Festival, Silver at the New York TV Festival. And did lots of print writing; some of which went on to win a Communication Arts Award in LA.
