Octagon Adds Creative Duo To Bolster European Offering

Sports and entertainment marketing agency Octagon has added creative duo Mike Phillips and Al Dew to the agency’s European team.

Based in London, the pair bolsters the rapidly expanding and award-winning creative team serving a client list that includes AIG, Budweiser, CA Technologies, Delta Air Lines, Foot Locker, Mars, Mastercard, Sony, and Wimbledon.

“Mike and Al are top chaps. They’re football mad, and hugely committed to creating work that earns attention,” said Octagon Creative Director Josh Green. “We’re thrilled to have them at Octagon, and they’ve already begun to throw their creative weight into the campaigns we create for our clients.”

With a reputation for creating work that borrows and blends different aspects of pop culture, Phillips and Dew previously created work for Heineken, Nike, adidas, Microsoft, Premier Inn, and even Shrek. The creative team has worked together for three years at a number of integrated London agencies including Exposure, Frank, JWT, VCCP, and DigitasLBi. Prior to that, they graduated from Bucks Ad School with First Class Honours.
