Me, innit.

I’m Lee Allen, a London-born, Melbourne-based creative with a love for film, comedy, and PR-worthy ideas.

Since leaving ad school in 2016, I’ve created a first-of-its-kind virtual concert with Stormzy, penned the launch film for Amazon Prime’s new platform, as well as five other Amazon ads, and attempted to bring down a Brazilian president – receiving recognition from Cannes + D&AD along the way.

Outside of office hours, I’ve produced a number of viral side projects – from a fake referendum campaign to a sex toy for the covid age – earning press coverage from across the globe: The Times, Metro, Vice, The Independent, Pedestrian.tv, Bustle, GRM Daily, Crack Magazine, BBC Radio, Popbitch, Sick Chirpse, Londonist, SurreyLive, MyLondon, British Comedy Guide, Open Democracy, Belfast Telegraph, The Rock (NZ), 20 Minutos, Brain Magazine, Bolavip, Future of Sex, 101 WRIF.

In my spare time, I also write, design, and edit two satire websites – Total FootBull and Opening Gambit – alongside my friend and co-writer Michael Quinn, while occasionally writing satire for other publications such as Paddy Power and Wunderground.
