It’s always a pleasure to work with them. They always manage to answer any brief in a fresh, new way. I always look forward to reviews when I’m working with them.

I worked really closely with Ric and Elliot. They’re super smart creatives and deliver great work every time. On top of this they're a really likeable and decent team. They're loyal, dedicated and hardworking. I can't think of a single creative review when they hadn't come up with the goods. With clients demanding creative solutions, in ever less time but ever high quality, they’re your boys.

Kev Stark, CD, BBH London

Ric and Elliot are that lovely combination of being a very talented creatives and a very decent humans, two qualities that make them incredibly attractive to work with. They worked into me on HSBC when I was at Saatchi & Saatchi. They were super smart, always delivering with quality and quantity ideas. Nothing was too much and his work was always presented on time and to the highest standard. I would thoroughly recommend anyone considering working with them.
