Who you work with
You work with me directly, not a junior account team.
I'm Rob Oxborough. I founded oXo Creatives in 2013 and run it full-time. Until 2026 I ran it alongside senior in-house marketing roles at Google, PlayStation and King, partner management at Meta, and digital product at NatWest. The person on the first call writes the plan and does the work.
