About

Good work gets better when people can question it.

The best ideas rarely arrive finished. They get stronger when people have room to contribute, push back and bring what they see. Making that space is most of the job.

13+ years shaping brands, campaigns and creative teams across entertainment and retail.

Portrait of Ian Belval

Great creative is about more than making something look good. It starts with understanding the problem, finding the opportunity and defining an idea worth building around.

From there, the work is shaping the vision, bringing the right people in and staying close until it becomes something clear, relevant and worth putting into the world.

Agencies, global entertainment brands and national retail. TV, digital, social, paid media, OOH, CRM, web and production, always alongside strategists, copywriters, marketers, designers, agencies and production partners.

How I lead

Good work needs good people.

"I'd rather work with people who ask uncomfortable questions early than people who agree quickly."

Different perspectives make the work sharper. Clear direction, honest challenge and room for everyone to bring something to the table.
