Throughout his career Oliver has been consistently recognised by a host of creative awards in numerous categories. Over the last decade he has amassed more than forty national and international awards including a Cannes Gold Lion, Clio Gold, D&AD Pencil (three more ‘in-book’), New York Festivals Gold’s and two Design Week Bulbs amongst other bits of metal and acrylic.
