Professional Trouble-Maker & Creative Chaos Coordinator
Some people collect stamps. Scott collects “bloody good ideas” – and after twenty-plus years of creative mayhem at thebox, his collection is frankly getting out of hand.
Picture this: the offspring of an ad man and a woman literally named Dawn (“because subtlety was never really their thing”), Scott’s childhood was less suburban normal, more creative boot camp. While other kids played video games, Scott was inadvertently apprenticing in the fine art of thinking differently – thanks to Dad’s impromptu culture workshops happening right in the backyard.
The music bug bit early and bit hard. Scott spent his formative years wrestling with an Eeb Tuba (yes, that’s a real thing) and dreaming of rock stardom. And wouldn’t you know it? The universe delivered – sort of. His teenage band taught him everything he needed to know about creative business: how to charm publicans, market gigs, and yes, how to make bass lines that actually matter.
By twenty-one, armed with nothing but a car, questionable decision-making skills, and the kind of confidence that makes parents nervous, Scott opened his first agency. Because why not?
Fast-forward through a trail of creative ventures – bureau42, EUSO Digital, Panda Candy – and you’ll find Scott still stirring the pot, still solving impossible puzzles, and still proving that the best ideas come from the most unexpected places.
Fair warning: Scott’s the kind of MC who doesn’t just introduce speakers – he curates experiences, drops truth bombs, and somehow makes strategic thinking feel like rock and roll.
