Hi there, I’m Grace 👋
I’m a Scottish creative and art director currently working in Edinburgh.
I love making creative that people want to keep watching. Ads that speak to an undeniable human truth. The kind that your mum tells you that she saw on TV.
Before the pandemic, I worked in in-house marketing. But I decided to give my dream job a shot in 2021.
Since moving into advertising, I’ve gotten up to a fair bit:
I’ve gained a masters in Creative Advertising from Edinburgh Napier
Went a little viral on LinkedIn as a placement team and won some awards
Joined London adland permanently, before returning to work in Scotland
Turned ideas into live work across video, stills, OOH, press, radio, social, display ads, direct mail and more
Helped change perceptions on everything from EVs to care homes
When I’m not moodboarding, concepting or on set, you’ll find me either researching hot new restaurants, bingewatching the latest must-see, or being a cat mum to Miso.
I’m always up for a wee chat; say hello at gracecheahcreative@gmail.com
