    Dan Dawson

    Dan is a creative, a fantasist, a technologist, a crafter, a storyteller and Outdoor nerd. He's designed, developed and directed projects that have been seen, consumed, interacted with, inspired and entertained hundreds of millions of people since starting Grand Visual with Neil Morris back in 2005. Helping fill a cabinet full of trophies from Cannes Lions to D&ADs from Obies to Eurobests all on behalf of the clients he's been privileged enough to work with.

      Hugh Todd

      Hugh has worked at some of London’s most famous advertising agencies, winning multiple awards for my work as both a writer and creative director. His ambition is always to create work that stands out, gets noticed, shared and talked about. While trying to have as much fun as possible on the way. He's written for Campaign, Creative Review and Shots and is also an Outdoor nerd. That's why he and Dan get on so well. When he finds the time he likes to write short stories, the latest of which ‘1 in 300,000,000’ was shortlisted for the Winston Fletcher Prize. He can also play the clarinet and finish the Rubik’s cube in 2 minutes... without peeling off stickers.
