Call in the cavalry.
Your new go-to freelance team.
After an amazing 7 year stint at BBH London, we’ve returned to our freelancer roots.
As Associate Creative Directors we led the creative on global behemoths like Western Union and local giants like Virgin Mobile and Trainline. We helped run the biggest advertising account in the UK, and accumulated roughly 75M views on Tiktok for Tesco.
We’ve had an ad out in the world almost every other week for the past 6 years.
We've won Cannes, Andy, and D&AD awards by helping create a social coffee chain with the Big Issue.
We’ve sold the Cheesegrater for $4bn (The Leadenhall building in London).
And we've got a roll of toilet paper. Long story short, it ended up in the London Museum and in Parliament.
We've also kept our pitch win rate suspiciously high. Luck must be involved - obvs.
We’re resilient, hard working, good with clients and we’re both quite decent on the guitar.
Grant Codron
Grant came over from South Africa as a copywriter in 2009 and is now an Associate Creative Director.
A dad, a husband, and once a year, a bit of a triathlete.
Lives in Broadstairs, plays in London.
Often found teaching capoeira, playing in bands, and surfing.
Rarely seen sleeping.
Adrien Raphoz
Ad has had many lives. Software engineer, Graphic Design business owner, Garden landscaper, Digital Developer, Web Design Lecturer (at University), Netflix extra, Youth camp councillor, Teenage rock sensation, House extension builder, Creative Director - in no particular order.
Born in France, raised in China. Living and working in the UK.
Tries very hard to pass on his frenchness to his two lovely children (and dog - though that is a bit more difficult).
Loves referring to himself using the third person
We aren’t in it for the awards.
But sometimes, they just come to us.

One of us is on Netflix...
“Netflix somehow decided it was a good idea to film my son’s first year of life and put it in a ground breaking series about babies.” You can see Ad’s family especially in episode 2 and 4.
(For the more curious of you: his boy is at 1:16 in this trailer)
