Creative directors Grey London

About

We both started our career together in 2010 at DDB London working on accounts such as Marmite, VW, Harvey Nichols, Budweiser and Financial Times.

This later became adam&eve/DDB, who we continued working for until we got a call from Wieden + Kennedy London. They convinced us to jump ship to the East of London, where we got to make work for iconic brands like Honda, Nike and Three Mobile.

After nearly five years of the Hipster life, we then got lured over to TBWA where we spent a lot of our time in the New York office working on brands like Adidas, Air B&B and Nissan. We returned to working in London at WCRS, where we won the Anchor Butter and EON Global accounts within our first year and ended making a music video collab with Gorillaz which got voted 3rd in Shots Top 10 Music Videos of 2017.

We now call Grey London ‘home’ and have been here for 5 years working across most of the agencies accounts including Volvo, Vodafone and Pringles who we created the global ‘Mindpopping’ platform for, which spurned campaigns such as ‘Multigran’, ‘Synth Hamster’, ‘The Pringles NPC’ and ‘Pringles Sonic Chip’. Work which we think was quite different and brave for the brand.
