TESTIMONIALS
"Graham was a hugely talented and highly valued member of our data & intelligence team. His abilities extended beyond his role and his calm and strategic leadership was transformative for his team and our business."
- Karena Crarer
CEO Edelman Africa
"Graham held our team together with his conceptual creative thinking and a lot of heart. He's the perfect team player, with a can-do attitude, a safe pair of hands and always willing to help"
- Charles Dlamini
Senior Designer Edelman SA
"Graham is a thinker. His first priority is to understand the brief and the brand before looking for fresh insights and new direction. He also has the ability to craft copy in different styles and tones, tailoring it to the ask."
- Adam Weber
Integrated ECD Joe Public
"Graham has an intuitive understanding
of the brief at hand and relentless dedication to going the extra mile. His creative leadership always bought fresh ideas to the table. As a Creative Director, he elevates
every piece of work he touches."
- Kerry Andrews
Account Director Akqa
"Graham is a true multidisciplinary creative. He's conceptually fluent in every media channel, yet his thinking is not limited by any medium. His creativity is so lateral, his ideas transcend categories. Hope Soap is the perfect example of that. But Graham’s talent, relentless spirit and rare work-ethic, are not the only qualities that make him special. It’s his humility. He’s kind, optimistic and witty. Graham is proof that you don’t always have to choose between a nice person and a talented one."
- Nkanyezi Masango
CCO Dentsu
"Any coach knows when you sign big players, you deal with big egos. But with Graham, you get la creme de la creme of creativity as well as friendly and humble human being. A combo you can build a creative studio around"
