 Some lovely words from some lovely people I’ve worked with.

Aldie is one of the most supportive, bright and creatively-charged women I have had the pleasure to know in the advertising industry. She has determination, is insightful and strong, but respectful and polite in her style of leadership. She gives time to mentor and support young Creatives, and is vocal in championing diversity and equality in our business. A strong female leader who is humble and unlikely to shout out about her fantastic achievements. So I’d like to do that for her :)

Aldie is super smart, creative and highly organised. She covered maternity leave for our Head of Creative at the Outfit for several months, big boots to fill but she brought her own stamp to the work and to the process. She’s analytical and enquiring when it comes to the brief, has a natural instinct for a good idea and the passion to champion innovative, challenging creative work. She has a great eye for detail, and for art direction. She’s an organised and empathetic manager, and a pleasure to work with.
— Niall Murdoch | Director | TheOutfit

Aldie’s ideas, energy, enthusiasm, discipline, and general can-do attitude are second to none. She can do it all. She is exactly the type of leader I would love to have worked for. Someone who knows their own mind. Someone who listens, absorbs, then gives clear and clever direction. And someone who leads by example. There are not many like her. Anyone who gives Aldie an opportunity will not be disappointed. She will grab it with both hands. I would grab the opportunity to work with her again in a heartbeat.
— Leigh Wallace | Creative Director | EveryFriday

Aldie is an intelligent, open-minded Creative Director and creative leader, who not only looks at work strategically but also with a keen eye for craft and pushing boundaries. She has a nurturing and relaxed nature, combined with confidence in her abilities and a passion to drive things forwards, which lends itself to an enjoyable working environment that also gets results. A strong CD and a genuine asset for any creative company.

Aldie is extremely creative, always on time, very proactive and has a personality to boot.
— Casper Franken | Founder & Director | Shotopop

Aldie has extremely high standards and will work tirelessly to deliver against these, whether she is working on a fully integrated campaign or a social post. A great team player within the agency, Aldie is also confident and persuasive in front of the client and understands the bigger picture. She consistently delivered fresh, creative work that is strategically grounded and I would be delighted to work with her again.
— Nicola Anderson | Digital Planning Director | Edelman

Aldie is incredibly creative, exceptionally people orientated and fun to work with.
— Carin Standford | Director & Founder | Shotopop

Aldie joined us as Creative Director with a smile, refreshed vision and flare. Working with her always felt collaborative and exciting. She pushes for the best creative out of you, even when it’s considered risky or wild which I love! Passionate, diligent, innovative and classy - hope we work together again soon.

Aldie is a super talented individual who brings a wealth experience and charm to a department. I would highly recommend her for any project.
— Sasan Roohi | Creative Director | The Walt Disney Company

It’s a pleasure to work with Aldie because she’s talented and has a great nose for an idea. And a pleasure because she goes out of the way to make the creative process itself a pleasure, even when it’s a wrestle. It rubs off on you when you’re working alongside her, it rubs off on clients, and it rubs off on the work. If I knew how she did it I would steal it shamelessly.
— David Martin | Writer

I have never worked with a more client-savvy creative
— Kaly Vickery | Brand Strategist | Mobas Group

Aldie is that rarest breed of Art Director who can design, create, think, and present incredibly well in equal measure. She is one of the hardest working, friendliest people I know.
— Pieter Rossouw | Senior Creative | AMV BBDO

Aldie’s eye for detail and precision art direction makes her a very strong creative. Her desire for perfection is unlike any I have seen in an artist. She creates beautiful things beautifully, and she always does it with a big smile. Aldie is a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone.
— Grant Duncan | Executive Producer | R/GA

It’s been a pleasure working with Aldie. She’s extremely organised, and has improved the creative process by bringing invaluable process and structure while never over-complicating things. She knows when to encourage, and when to lead from the front. She’s an excellent and persuasive presenter. She also brings precious calm when things get pressured, and I’ll miss her beaming smile! I’d be delighted to work with Aldie again, any time.
