About Tom

Tom Norton: Creative Director - M&C Saatchi Dubai

I’ve spent my career proving that the right words can stop a scroll, start a conversation... or sell a bucket of chicken. In my 16 years experience as a multi award-winning creative, content lead and writer, I’ve crafted work that’s lived everywhere from billboards, films and front pages
to tweets, stories and stunts.

By being bolder, smarter or just a little more human, I’ve helped brands like Coca-Cola, Twitter, Wego, Dubai Tourism, Atlantis and Uber find something worth saying, across a mix of markets and continents. Blending cultural impact with commercial effectiveness and earning metal from Cannes Lions, Dubai Lynx, The Loeries, The Drum and WPP’s Extraordinary Awards (and nods from The One Show, EFFIES and New York Festivals) along the way. 

Before ad land came calling, I built my career in London’s publishing scene — cutting my teeth across the print and digital realm before heading to the UAE as Digital Lead for Esquire Middle East and Condé Nast Traveller Middle East, and later as Head of Content for the region's largest influencer agency. And somewhere between deadlines and headlines, my words have found their way into more than 20 international titles.
