WHO WE ARE

SEE? SWEET!

PAUL JACKSON

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Previously CEO of Grey Advertising Africa, Paul built a killer leadership team that took the brand from rock bottom to AdFocus Agency of the Year & the number 1 mid-size creative agency in 9 years. He also launched the highly successful agency, Liquid, a bespoke agency that won dozens of local & international awards. Paul also founded Volcano, becoming the AdAge International Agency of the Year in 2014 - the only agency in Africa to receive this. 

FRAN LUCKIN

CO-CHIEF
CREATIVE OFFICER

With decades of making agencies and ideas braver Fran is formerly CCO of VML and a key force behind Grey SA’s rise, she’s part strategist, part storyteller, part “let’s not kill the good idea.” She believes advertising doesn’t have a creativity problem, it has a bravery problem. She’s judged Cannes and D&AD, helped grow future leaders through Open Chair, and is driven by great work. Also plays bass. Loudly. Sometimes well.

ROANNA WILLIAMS

CO-CHIEF
CREATIVE OFFICER

Roanna is a self-styled creative activist with a career of pushing for work that actually shows up and makes a difference. She believes in ideas people talk about, not ones that survive 15 boardroom rounds and become wallpaper. Former Chair of the Creative Circle (and first woman), she’s championed a braver, less boring industry, and continues to mentor through Open Chair. Her simple rule: if everyone’s comfortable, it’s probably wrong.

STUART WALSH

BOUNDLESS STRATEGY

Stu was supposed to be a lawyer or psychologist, but after graduating from Wits, stood in the wrong queue and ended up in advertising where he has been ever since. Despite being in entirely the wrong career, he has done okay, winning numerous APEX and Effie awards for effectiveness as well as creative awards from his time as a Creative Director, before he succumbed to the Dark Side and became a strategist.
He is one of very few strategists in the world licensed to transport explosives.
