ZOMBIES
We came 2nd in Cannes Young Lions 2020, after having 48 hours to produce a print campaign to show that the UK advertising industry is the most progressive sector in recruiting, retaining and developing the most inclusive workforce.
The idea needed to encourage young people from diverse backgrounds to choose a career in advertising, make it an attractive choice to anyone at any stage of their career, and make it appealing to more female, BAME, neurodiverse, disabled, LGBTQ+ and over 50s.
Our idea was to show that zombies don’t care what you look like or where you come from, they just want one thing… your big juicy brain. Just like advertising agencies.
Mmm… braaains…
Yo. We're Max and Jake.
A creative team at Mr. President.

EXPERIENCE
We currently work at Mr. President.
Previously we sold drugs for a living at Havas Lynx to help save the world from hard-to-spell rare diseases.
We met in our first week studying Creative Advertising at Falmouth University in 2018 and have been in this arranged marriage ever since. And Max still hasn't had a haircut.
Our ideas don't come from jumping straight on the Mac.
We prefer scamps and sharpies.
