NICK GILL
EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR BBH LONDON
I have known them both for years, and they are a fantastic creative team.
At a time when the industry is crying out for crafts people, as well as idea generators, they can do both. They can write, art direct, put film together brilliantly and think big. Skills, I would argue, that are more essential to our industry now than ever.
They have produced some stunning work in their time at BBH. Work that has helped shape the creative fortunes of this agency. From witty and award-winning posters on Castlemaine to an exquisite film for the launch of Heathrow Terminal 5. They’ve produced some beautiful work on Audi, BBH’s founding client, including the stunning ‘Hummingbird’ film and the massively successful and beautifully realised ‘Grip’ campaign. And a great deal more.
As Creative Directors, they have steered several demanding pieces of business over the years, including Woolworths, KFC, Barclays and UniCredit.
They are an absolute joy to work with. They’re honest, professional, open-minded, conscientious and put a huge amount of love and care into the work they produce. They’re also great blokes and a pleasure to have around.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending them for a big creative challenge.
Please contact me if you need any more information.

These boys are a pleasure to work with and are very good. If I still owned my own agency I’d hire them straight away.

What a formidable team. Exceptionally talented, hard working and an absolute joy to have in the department.
NICK KIDNEY & KEVIN STARK
HEAD OF COPY / GROUP CREATIVE DIRECTORS BBH LONDON
If you’re thinking of working with the guys, here are a few things we’d like to say to help you make up your mind.
A few years ago we had some good work on a brief to launch Castlemaine XXXX Extra Cold.
We couldn’t help thinking though, we were missing a trick.
They weren’t on the brief but they came to see us with a Koala bear in a Parker coat and that one idea blew everything we’d seen thus far out of the water.
We’ve lost count of the number of times they’ve come to our rescue on jobs that no one else could crack.
Especially during the five years we ran the Audi business.
Fantastic work that did a great job for the client’s business and won countless creative awards along the way.
From Audi “Grip” to “Hummingbird” they never let us down.
They always deliver.
They are always on time.
They go about their business in a truly professional and quietly effective way.
And they invariably show you ideas you wish you’d done yourself.
As creative directors, they’ve made us look very good on many occasions.
We can’t recommend them highly enough.
EWAN PATERSON
EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR BBH SPORT / PARTNER BBH LONDON
If you want big ideas, executed beautifully, this is the team for you.
During my time working with them at BBH they created a continuous stream of award-winning campaigns for big brands like British Airways, Audi and Castlemaine XXXX.
They are great at creating original and engaging ideas and are both fantastic at their craft.
I'd recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent senior team.
