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!

Big ups to Nick B!
Ya, one of the smartest charming teacher I ever had.
