    About Creative Futures

    Creative Futures is a different kind of creative team. We work in unison with our media teams combining creative, data, technology and paid media to make work that connects with culture - executing on every channel through advertising campaigns and brand partnerships.

    In the UK, we are a team of 45 strategists, creatives, designers, developers, video editors, producers and partnership specialists. We are part of the global Creative Futures network that has produced these campaigns in recent years:

    Ebay Preloved Island:

    Adidas Ozworld:

    Google High Life:

    Elsewhere, we launched with Google across EMEA on social and display, created award-winning social assets for the Tokyo Olympics, and produced the launch of The Financial Times new app, FT Edit.
