been sitting on this for a while, but it’s been officially announced that my friend and colleague Nick Barham has been named co-executive creative director of the WIEDEN+KENNEDY SHANGHAI office. Nick previously served our office as planning director, and this is an amazing step forward that showcases W+K’s willingness to redefine and continually push the boundaries of creative thinking and leadership.

without gushing too much, Nick is one of the hardest working people I know, and also one of my favourites. the fact that he is constantly pushing all of us to do better is inspiring, and he has an incredible gift for walking into a room and immediately and accurately accessing what needs to be done and how things can be improved in a way that’s at once crazily creative and strategic in thinking.

super super stoked, and looking forward to many more great projects together and late nights on the town. BIG LOVE!
