Chris Gillespie

Co-Founder at Fenwick
I believe the best ideas lurk outside the office. I delight in precise language and snugly fit systems. As Fenwick's creative director, I help clients produce campaigns of uncommon clarity. As editor of The Rewild, I'm out seeking inspiration at its source.
Working with me
  • I’m happiest when the writing is precise and the images, allegorical
  • I’m bothered by c and rework
  • Give me the bad news straight up
