Jules Chalkley | Chief Executive Creative Director Ogilvy UK
Richard and James are an incredible creative duo. Their background in digital and broader brand skillsets make them special in the way they approach a problem.
They are innate in the way they look at digital experiences but also have the experience and gravitas to lead disruptive and effective marketing projects for global brands.
They are creative to the bone, they are disruptive thinkers, they write beautifully and create work that gets noticed. They are also top people to work with, their energy and attitude is phenomenal.
Jonathan Tapper | Managing Director - Saatchi & Saatchi
Richard and James’ creative compass is clear. How can I best answer the brief in the most effective and entertaining way? This combination of pragmatism and craft make working with Richard and James a pleasure even on the most pressured of accounts. They were central to the development of the transformative Martin Freeman campaign we did for Vodafone, having to navigate the requirements of both one the UK's largest brands and Hollywood stars. They are collaborative team players, who roll their sleeves up and embrace every curve ball this crazy business throws at them, refreshingly only driven by doing a good job and making great work.

Bumble Baker | Head of integrated production Tag, William Hill
Richard and James were tasked with an enormous brief; write scripts that covered all the Brand's products, encompassing a main 60" TVC and written with the intention of cascading 8 tacticals spilling out of that. They were quick and professional, consistently over delivering beautifully presented decks, including Director and music recommendations. All the ideas were achievable, on brief and on budget, it was obvious that they were hugely experienced and Brand literate, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. We will continue to use them as often as possible.
Sam Cartmell | ECD, Ogilvy
Richard & James are a wonderfully talented and experienced team, whether creating original ideas, steering a tricky project through or pitching for new business. They have a wonderful energy and can-do attitude and you can always rely on them to produce the goods and do it with a smile on their faces. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. If you need any more information, do get in touch.

I’m not quite sure what Richard does but I’ve heard he’s very good at it.
