Andrew Shuttleworth

MD: House of Brave

After proving his mettle managing brands such as Panasonic and Liqui-Fruit, Andrew took a deep breath, put on a life jacket, and made the giant leap into agency life by joining Grey South Africa as Regional Account Director for Africa, where he managed such diverse international brands as Barclays, Nokia, Heineken and Emirates across 16 markets.
Working his way up to appointment as Managing Director for Grey Africa, Andrew successfully built Nokia’s Africa presence through innovative and sexy sponsorship deals including the Africa Cup of Nations, Nokia Face of Africa and Nokia Fashion Week.
The scale and success of the Africa venture resulted in his appointment as joint MD Grey South Africa where the agency had its most prolific year to date. The Grey success was followed by his appointment to Managing Director for McCann Erickson where Andrew partnered with Strategic Planning Director, Rob Van Rooyen and Executive Creative Director, Vanessa Pearson to see the once beleaguered agency return to the top 10 ranking with a Gauteng Agency of the Year nomination followed by multiple Loerie wins.
Known for his consummate client skills and negotiating prowess, Andrew abandoned his life jacket and plunged into agency ownership life by founding House of Brave, with a formidable team, aptly coined by Finweek.

Testimonials

Adrian Lee

"“Passion is embodied in all that Andrew does. He regularly presented alternative methodologies and knowledge that added to the Nokia marketing strategy. His in-depth knowledge of the African consumer insight has also helped me to gain much knowledge working in a new market. As a service provider, he pulled no punches when it came to presenting honest feedback that aided us greatly.

Andrew's management style was personable and open. And I still hear his ex-colleagues refer to him glowingly.” August 14, 2009" - 2009
