King Raven have been busy making other CD freelancers look bad since 2014.
Smart creative thinking, attention to detail and great at presenting. They’re the real deal.
People make an agency and Lewis and Adam are two of the finest I’ve met.
Oh, and you’ll miss them once they’ve gone.

To whom it may concern,
I worked as Executive Creative Director of Glue London (now Isobar) and employed Adam and Lewis, initially as a creative team, working with them for nearly 8 years from 2005 to 2012, and promoting them to Associate Creative Directors.
I worked as Executive Creative Director of Glue London (now Isobar) and employed Adam and Lewis, initially as a creative team, working with them for nearly 8 years from 2005 to 2012, and promoting them to Associate Creative Directors.
I believe they were promoted again to Creative Directors after I had left.
They have so many great aspects to both their talent and personalities that I could eulogise for pages
– don’t worry, I won’t.
– don’t worry, I won’t.
What I can say unequivocally though, is that they are an outstandingly good creative team and two of the nicest people who I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
The most important things we looked for in people to employ at Glue, were of course genuine creative talent, a passion for doing great work and the ability to think laterally and come up with original and exciting ideas, but also people who we thought would be fun to work with.
Adam and Lewis are all those things and more. You will not find a team more friendly, open, willing to put in a shift and genuinely great to have around.
This, coupled with their unusually deep knowledge of the changing digital landscape, means they would be an asset to any forward thinking company, whether that it is an advertising agency or not.
One additional aspect of their talent that became more obvious over time is their great capacity for Creative Direction. They can both spot a good idea from a mile away and quickly became experts in nurturing those ideas and turning them into genuinely exciting work for our clients.
Both Adam and Lewis have a huge amount of empathy and patience too,
attributes not always associated with Creative Directors.
They genuinely care about the people who work for them and all the feedback I ever received
about them in that role was positive.

They are loyal and inspire loyalty. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.
I hope this letter goes some way to providing an assurance that if you are talking to them about a job,
you are talking to two fantastic candidates.

They're an incredibly creative as well as strategic team who would always come back with big and innovative ideas. They really understand the digital world that we live in today and push the boundaries of what's possible creatively.
They're very mature and I always felt very comfortable and confident working with them. They are also great at presenting their ideas always setting up a solid rationale up front.
I would definitely love to work with them again and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions.

Both Adam and Lewis have always shown the highest degree of professionalism.
Delivering the highest quality creative work.
Always demonstrating a great understanding of their craft on a truly consistent level.
Always demonstrating a great understanding of their craft on a truly consistent level.
From a Resource Managers perspective they have always made my role so much easier. Responsive, looking to assist at any opportunity, always having an understanding of the wider picture and the offering of potential solutions.
On a personal level, from my first day both Adam and Lewis were the creative team I sought assistance from, which thankfully still continues to this day. They always took the time to support me, providing advice and made my understanding of the creative process a lot clearer.
They both will be a tremendous asset for any future agencies and projects (and Resource Managers).
