Hi. We’re John and Sam, a Swedish/British Group Creative Director duo.

After a LONG stint working at Grey London, we’ve been itching to sow our creative oats elsewhere.

We’ve been working in the industry for two decades, and though we’ve picked up a few grey hairs and beer bellies that won’t quit, we've still got plenty of energy and a genuine love for making great work.

We've worked across just about every category imaginable and built a reputation for being strong strategic thinkers, good collaborators and decent human beings. Positive, hardworking, generous with our time and, apparently, pretty good mentors too.


We’re good at pitches. In fact, we’ve probably won about 80% of the ones we’ve worked on over our entire career. Most recently: Budweiser Global, Etihad Airways and Synechron.

We have plenty of shiny things too, including Cannes, One Show, Clios, Epica, Big Awards, Creative Circle, Effies, British Arrows, Lovies … yadayadayada (there’s more, but these the are ones you care about, let’s be honest).

We’d love to come and play, available for both Freelance or Permanent if the right opportunity comes along. Get in touch!
