Tom Sharp is a poet, brand writer and Creative Director. He works with organisations to create worlds, campaigns and artistic moments with language at their heart.
He led the rebrand for English National Ballet at the beginning of Tamara Rojo’s Artistic Directorship, created the Design Museum’s most celebrated adverts and wrote a series of campaigns for the British Library which went viral beyond expectation. He has been commissioned to write and craft things for Art Fund, Nike, Historic Royal Palaces, Politico, Google, V&A, Southbank Centre, British Council, Deloitte, Innovate UK, D&AD and Francis Crick Institute.
He releases new poetic and artistic projects each quarter. These include creating a Fluxus-influenced sculpture/poetry installation in Covent Garden, leading a long-term project which, amongst other happenings, planted the world’s largest faery ring around the Square Mile, and, for the Bloomsbury Festival, creating a tribute to William Morris in which negative space amongst Tom’s poetry mimicked Morris’s wallpaper patterns.
His work has won numerous creative awards and been published by Phaidon and Penguin. Before launching a solo-career as a writer, he founded and led a top-20 UK design studio for over a decade. As well as making things, he speaks regularly about what writing can do.
