Katya Crichton

I’m a Swiss-Anglo Senior Creative/Art Director with extensive experience in top advertising agencies such as BBH, DDB, Grey, and Havas, as well as various independent digital and integrated agencies in London.

I recently transitioned to the entertainment industry, joining Sky's in-house Creative department. Here, I focus on developing 360 campaign concepts for Sky Originals shows and WOW TV Germany, including Key Arts, AV, social media content, print materials, and activation ideas.

My experience includes directing international TV ads and collaborating with Hollywood A-listers. I have won 360 global pitches, launched new products, and designed a diverse range of assets, including special-sized OOH, digital posters, prints, and social content.

I’ve freelanced as a solo creative as well as a part of a team in big and small ATL, BTL, and B2B agencies.

Beyond my creative passion, I wear many hats – I'm a mother of two, an ex-ski instructor, a polylinguist, speaking 5 languages (plus Adobe), an avid camper and wild swimmer, a seasoned traveller, a Vipassana meditator, a wild-mushroom picker, a marathon runner, a tennis player, a museum enthusiast, a concrete design maker, and recently a home portrait illustrator.

’Katya comes from a hands-on background in design. As a result, it’s natural for her to create strategically insightful ideas lovingly crafted across channels, working fast and efficiently to write and visualise relevant executions to a high finish.
