"I think the best way to judge any team is how you feel when you hear they're leaving. Ray and Simon left BBH nine months ago and I'm still gutted.
I met them back in 2010 and although they were not the illustrious team they are today, all the hallmarks were there. Clear, simple thoughts, executed with no little craftsmanship. It didn't surprise me that they were the team who did 'This Girl Can' and great though that is, there's so much more to them than that.
In their time at BBH they produced some beautiful and elegant work across a whole roster of clients. Absolut, Audi, Uber, Next, Virgin Media, to name but a few.
Best of all, they never let you down. Oh, and they're great people too."
Nick Kidney - Creative Director, BBH London
"Simon and Raymond have worked for me twice. In two agencies. I would have them in my creative department a third time if the opportunity ever arose. They have bags of talent between them. Insightful ideas, great craft skills. They get stuff made. Hire them."
John Messum - Creative Director, 180 Amsterdam
"I first met Simon and Raymond while I was working as a director, at one of my sessions of theartschool. The challenge I set that afternoon was to produce 100 ideas a day for various brands. A fortnight later they turned up on my doorstep with 1400 ideas. EACH! The Brazilian rainforest is still recovering.
"They remain one of the hardest working teams I've ever known and the work they do is always interesting, intelligent, and informative. Not only this, but they possess one quality that is much needed in a modern day creative department - they work fast. And to top it all they are two lovely guys."
Graham Fink - Multimedia Artist and Master of All Trades
"Ray and Simon are smart, insightful and innovative. They come at problems from every angle and they are never happy with 'good enough', they keep going until they have something truly surprising. They are one of those teams that you only get to keep for a while and are left wishing they'd stay a little longer."
Owen Lee - Chief Creative Officer, FCB Inferno
