LONDON, UK — GROUP OF HUMANS, a fully distributed creative consultancy, has announced that the former Creative Chairman of Grey London, is joining as Creative Partner.
Adrian joins GROUP OF HUMANS from the independent network The Constellation Network, where he spent two-and-a-half years as Creative Partner. Prior to this, he was Creative Chairman at Grey London, leading the agency and reshaping a number of departments, with a focus on futureproofing the business and building its digital social capabilities, while also developing award-winning work and winning a number of new accounts.
In his new role, Adrian will join a number of other creative directors at GROUP OF HUMANS, such as Simon Waterfall RDI, Co-Founder of Poke, and Sean Reynolds, Co-Founder of Iris Worldwide. Adrian will lead on clients including Lego, Gates Ventures, and Logitech.
In recent years, Adrian has worked with brands including Amazon Prime, Apple +, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Nissan, Formula E, EE, Diageo, and Skoda.
In his previous role as Executive Creative Director at AMV BBDO, Adrian was named by Cannes Lions as the number one creative director in the world and by the Big Won as the most awarded executive creative director in the world.
He has won the top accolades at almost every major international awards show, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, and the One Show.
Founded by entrepreneur Rob Noble in 2018, GROUP OF HUMANS is a fully distributed community of over 80 creative professionals, with plans to add another 70+ ‘HUMANS’ by the end of 2023.
Earlier this year, Rob launched a sister company SUPERHUMAN PARTNERS, an advisory firm for creative companies and the people that lead them.
Rob said, “Adrian has won more awards than you can shake a stick at, from multiple Cannes Grand Prix to D&AD Black Pencils, as well as running two of the biggest and most creative agencies in the world. His work shows he thinks in ideas not just in the confines of advertising, which is why he is such a great addition to the GROUP OF HUMANS community.”
Adrian shared, “The SAS are seen as elite, the best of the best. GROUP OF HUMANS is the creative equivalent. Nowhere on earth is there such an esteemed, eclectic, heavy-hitting bunch of humble people. It’s an honor just to be breathing the same air as them.”
