What makes us unique:
In the last six years, we have built up and transformed 2.5 agencies (Yes, that’s a cliffhanger) as a creative strategic planner and a hybrid creative director. As such, we have worked on national and international clients and gathered global lead experience. We are stretching our titles to the maximum.
We are an experienced team in building up agencies or departments, including creative agency/department positioning, set-up and ongoing optimisation of team structure, building company culture, and creating a kick-ass team that sticks together – and that’s just the base for outstanding work.
What else? Creative planning, creation, campaigning, film producing, direction, digital and social media, pitching? All yes. Award orientated? Yes – but with real work.
What’s next? Let’s find out. We are ready to conquer the world.
Abbie Ramakrishnan
Creative Strategist - Concept - Writer - Pitcher - Judge - Producer
SkillS:
Creative strategist and agency lead experienced in developing strategies and concepts that help brands find their voice and make consumers say "Oooh."
Judging made me a more self-critical advertiser and a more curious one. And being part of the producing team, realizing a concept from strategy via creation to production and post-production made me appreciate all the nuances that make an idea sticky. And fall in love again all over with advertising and the film craft.
Clients include AXA Women's Football League, SuperFit, IQOS (Philip Morris), Ferrero, THOMY, BASF, Mercedes Me, and more.
