Creative Directors | Neda Shadanlou | Gemma Fowler

We're Neda and Gemma, a Creative Duo with 13 years of experience in the industry.

We are well versed in art direction, copy, creative direction, TV, print, digital, experiential. We've CD'd on campaigns for Fairtrade, Cbeebies etc.

We were most recently freelancing at RGA, Mother, and Netflix.

Some cool stuff has happened recently, we featured in Campaign as one the UK's New Creative Leaders in 2018 (we're squished on the cover on the image on the left).

Neda's short films has just been selected for ten festivals, including two BAFTA qualifying festivals and it won a Grand Jury Award too.

And she's been a Judge on the Gold Jury for film craft at the Creative Circle Awards in 2020 and 2018.

And Gems has had her book 'Moondust' published by the publisher of Harry Potter. And she has another two books on the horizon. Her new book 'Soup' is coming out this year too by the same publisher. So we're peeing our pants over that.

Also of late we've been asked to give talks, and write articles about creativity for organisations like SheSays, Campaign, Barclays Business Group, Shillington School of Design, The International Youth Development Association, and we've been on various Q&A panels too, which you can see in our photos below.
