GARY WATSON
CREATIVE LEADERSHIP WITH PASSION
One of the things I ask before hiring someone – and I’d expect to be asked myself – is, “What are you passionate about?” And please don't say ‘advertising.’ It’s a bit too contrived.
I firmly believe that in order to be passionate about your work, you need to be passionate about something else. Something philanthropic. Something artistic. Something athletic. Just. Something.
For me, it’s music and football (not the North American version). In that order.
​
Music was my first love. I started writing songs and lyrics when I was a teenager and to this day, I am still actively making music.
As a solo artist, you can check out my musical alter ego Devon Harlow here on Soundcloud. I'm also a member of two other bands - Brothers Wicklow who you can find here and Cruel Wisdom which can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
​
And, on a final note, let's go Manchester United and Toronto FC!
