Rebel With A Cause — with MTArt’s Marine Tanguy and Yann Mathias

One half of an unconventional creative team with partner Luke Lasenby. Previously at RANKIN CREATIVE and The Garage Soho; Opal is a Creative AND Strategist who really believes in the value of being multi-disciplinary.Opal is the co-host of MediaCat Magazine podcast miniseries ‘Rebel with a Cause’ (see the web link in this bio), where we follow Opal’s conversations with folk across the industry to explore her pet theory that strategy is a creative person's secret weapon. And in the process test the waters to see how the industry responds to this Rebel with a Cause’s refusal to pick a box.
