Gold Cannes Lion Winners / Creative Team of the Year Runners-Up
Case in point: Fast Company named their “Lunchabuild This” campaign one of “the most creative marketing campaigns of 2023” (it also won a Gold Cannes Lion and a Gold Effie that year). The pair were also named "Creative Team of the Year - Runners Up" by Campaign in 2024.
The duo met at GS&P, and in just a few years helped land many new clients, and grow the business once they had them (like Kraft Heinz and FritoLay).
Career highlights? Getting a portrait drawn by Michel Gondry, being scolded by Steve Carell and slow-motion walking with Simu Liu.
