CREATIVITY interpreted by 10 ‘younger’ shops
AdVantage decided to give 10 ‘younger’ agency shops an opportunity to portray their interpretation of creativity in advertising today, by giving each one a letter from the word ‘creativity’ and asking them to portray it, on a first response basis… Visually.

He currently works at Amicollective – an outfit known for grabbing the hottest talent off the market and living up to its reputation (as is obvious).
