Why

Welcome to Parliament.

We exist to provide simpler, nimbler, more entrepreneurial approaches
to the modern marketing and advertising challenges our partners face.

Ours is the antithesis of the typical outdated, overloaded, inefficient model.

Parliament assembles each of our bespoke, project-specific teams without bias,
and manages them in the most lean and efficient manner as dictated by the project.

Simply put, we identify need, assemble talent, and get the job done.

And we do so without unnecessary personnel and overheads.

Parliament is driven by 20+ years of project leadership,
and powered by OWL Inc's global talent network.

People

Dave (DC) and David’s (DW)
careers have overlapped 3 times
over the last 20 years.

Their respect,
friendship and loyalty to each
other has remained a constant.

Dave Cockayne (DC)

LinkedIN Icon

Backed by a career learning alongside a who's who of Advertising, Dave is passionate about the creative industry, and implementing the connection of disciplines within it. Creatively driven, and commercially focussed, he is inherently focussed on delivering the finest product for the task.

Recent consultancy positions have proved that the traditional / integrated agency landscape is simply unable (or unwilling) to provide perfect solutions for clients.

Providing his knowledge, ideas, experience, uncompromising drive and project stewardship direct to brave brands was the obvious next step.

Fundamentally opposed to complications in process, Dave is able to lead Parliament teams to great work without any of the layers and hierarchy that stands in the way.
