A creative duo, full of initiative and boldness, shown through a varied portfolio, showcasing a diverse range of creative projects.
Eager to build experience in earned-first ideas in a PR and social media agency.
Love behavioural insights, consuming news, culture and online media and memes. As well as being endlessly curious about culture and what makes people tick.

A team where someone possess an eye for making things beautiful and the other has a way with words.
Team players with the desire to get stuck in from day one, working alongside a team of creatives, designers and other suppliers.
You're passionate about creativity - and not limited to thinking in TVC or OOH formats.
