We’re Ben McCarthy and Seb Housden, an ACD team with well over a decade of experience working in the advertising industry.
We’ve spent most of our career in London working at the likes of M&C Saatchi, Lowe, DLKW then Mullen Lowe and VCCP. We’re now based in San Francisco at Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
At these agencies we’ve taken the lead on creative for brands such as Canon, EasyJet and now Tostitos and Xfinity, managing teams and working directly with clients to achieve the best work possible.
We like to make work that real people see, not just ad-land bods. Brilliant ideas that people talk about in the real world.
In our time in advertising we’ve tried to change people’s perception of death,
had Salman Rushdie share our work with millions of his followers,
turned hundreds of thousands of TV watchers into mystery detectives,
created the world’s smallest advertising campaign,
had a kick about with Sir Geoff Hurst (he scored the winning goal in England's 1966 World Cup Triumph, if he hasn't told you already),
and met China's biggest pop star without his wig.
