Gavin Barrett is founding partner + creative director at Barrett and Welsh, though he prefers to be known as Ideawallah. In pursuit of big ideas, Gavin has: nibbled on pig’s ears (not on a live pig at the time); gone elephant-back in the Thai jungle; gambled in a Macau casino. His commercials have been shot by: Deepa Mehta, David Carson and Louis Ng. His poems: can be found in Penguin’s anthology of 14 contemporary Indian poets, Reasons for Belonging. His ads: have run in 35 countries. He has accumulated: 1 wife, 2 kids, a BA (econ.), an MA (eng. lit), a murderous guppy, a scruffy cocker spaniel poodle and 69+ awards for his work. He cannot: sing.
