are a trustworthy presence on any brief.”

“A brilliant creative team, full of passion and drive. This shone through on a TVC and branding project for PZ Cussons, the dedication and hardwork they put into the new brand look and feel was admirable.
They are great team players and will tackle and push any creative brief thrown at them.”
Daniel Williams
Head of Product Design & Creative, IG Group
“Maximum dedication. High energy. Strong resilience. Lots of passion. Low ego. Highly impactful. And, most importantly, a huge amount of fun to work with. Michael & Andrea set the standard for what a creative partnership should be.”
Kelsey Eaton
Freelance Creative Director, prev. CD at Virtue
“More than any team I’ve worked with in the past, Michael & Andrea have a special way of taking cold strategy and crafting transfixing narratives that capture the subtle beauty of true human insights.
The stories they tell around their big ideas are binge-worthy and leave you excited to see more. They have a true passion for their craft and a real determination to push the work, making it bigger, better, bolder.
A must-have, go-to, dream team.”
Dan Northcote-Smith
“I had the great pleasure of working with M&A at R/GA London. They are the sort of team that every CD loves working with — great attitude, genuinely fun and innovative work. Their dedication and creativity made every challenge an opportunity for excellence. Beyond the work, M&A are top people. They will be big characters in any creative department and an asset to any company that hires them. Do it now.”

“These two pair off-the-wall ideas with diligent strategic thinking. I always asked for them for my juiciest briefs. Usually someone else had got there first.”
Ross Taylor
GCD at Havas Play
“Michael and Andrea represent the new power in creative thinking. Culturally connected, insightful big thinking executed in a media agnostic way. From social to brand platform they will always bring something excitingly unexpected to the table.
Hardworking and sharp, a fantastic team.”
Adam King & Lewis Raven
CDs, Ogilvy Social & Content
“Hen’s teeth. Creative team. From insightful, innovative and impactful ideas to hard-working art direction and copywriting for pretty much any channel or format, Michael & Andrea tick every box - and then invent some new ones and tick them, too. They also know the importance of a good empanada.”
