-
Matt Grogan
Creative Director - Australia
Struggles to remember what the world was like before digital.
-
Matt Robinson
Managing Director - Australia
If you mixed up a bowl of strategy, media, technology and a passion for making great stuff happen – you’d get a bowl of Matt.
-
Daniel Bennett
Managing Director -New York
Having worked in several of the world’s largest agencies he understands the value of strategically leading a smaller, more agile creative agency.
-
Vikesh Bhatt

You can tell from the quiff - this man’s got an eye for good design.
-
Ray Jopson
Creative Lead
From art direction, to copy, to pizza making, he’s a creative of many talents.
-
Des Holmes
Creative Technology Director
You'll need, but more importantly, you'll want this guy on your team.
-
Siân James
HR and Operations Manager
There are talkers and there are doers, and Siân most definitely does stuff.
-
Alec Boere
Client Services Director
He may look like Bradley Wiggins but he'd rather pedal a pedalo than a bike.
-
Simon Richings
Executive Creative Director
-
Andreas
Blonde hair, blue eyes... pick the Swede? He also has tattoos and a wicked taste in music (if you like thrash metal).
-
Barney Voss
Head of Production
This Londoner gets stuck into everything he does and spent five years at Ogilvy, took some time our to go travelling around South America and then joined Dare in 2007 as a Project Director.
-
Stephen
This guy loves soaking up the latest innovations and trends from around the world. But remember this; he’s lethal on the dance floor.
-
Kate
She makes the most beautiful things at unexpected moments. Including the yummiest cakes this side of the roundabout.
-
John
He's sports crazy and loves organising the troops for a game of touch rugby or footy. If you don’t know why we call him 'Bear', wait till you meet him.
-
Jolyon
An inventive mind, this guy loves breaking things and putting them back together again. Including his motorbike.
-
Stuart
Don’t be fooled by his skinny jeans and obvious future as a TV presenter; this guy can make anything happen. Fast.
-
Josefine
This lovely lass knows a thing or two about communications. Not only is she a master of all things digital, she can wax lyrical in Swedish and even knows sign language.
-
Nick
This guy wears Hawaiian shirts and loves 80s movies. But our free spirit is super sharp upstairs, so it’s worth having him around.
-
Julie
She’ll tell you she likes to cook, eat, go to gigs, but her real love? Sharks! Yes indeed, she’s got books, posters and “spends hours” watching videos on YouTube (yes, hours).
-
Harriet
An English rose who hails from Brueni counts scoring a pair of “the most fabulous Kurt Geiger shoes ever!” 70% off as one of her greatest achievements. Um…who wouldn’t!
-
Jo
You can ask our very own Carrey Mulligan lookalike for an autograph - just don't ask her the time. She's terrified of clocks (truth).
-
Sejal
She's a dab hand at Indian cheffery, but at her dream dinner party (guests including Marlon Brando and David Attenborough) there's only one thing on the menu – 12” subs.
-
Florence
Our very own in-house model – her most notable credit is a starring role in a Fisher-Price campaign, age 3 - Flo loves food and reflexology (hopefully not in that order).
-
Michael
Truly a man of many talents, not only is Mike a self-proclaimed “world-class” beatboxer - he can replicate the sound of paper ripping (?) with his mouth - he has also dominated Leeds' very own Popina's ‘Mega Breakfast Challenge’.
-
Peter
“Fabs” is the consummate creative nerd and has a slightly un-healthy knack for APIs. He has a photographic memory, which combined with his love for movies means he's pretty good at trivia as well.
-
Larissa
Larissa defines the term "doer". She likes nothing more than a juicy budget and a tight timeline to get her teeth stuck into. Oh, and lists. Lots and lots of lists.
-
Chris
Hobbies include cooking, reading and inappropriately photoshopping co-workers.
-
Anton
Anton grew up in Auckland, where his father owned a string of successful fish and chip shops and his mother sang in rock bands. So it's no surprise that he ended up with an interest in both selling and entertaining.
-
John
John arrived in Australia from Ireland for a 1 year holiday, and 7 years later he’s still here. He has a love for big ideas and big nights out; just don’t mention astro physics to him or you could be in for a big night too.
-
Ronit
Honji Ponji (as she is more commonly known) started her career in design, before deciding that she liked bossing designers around a little bit more.
-
Sophie
Soph in the city brought a whole lotta NYC knowledge back to her native Australia after a 3 year stint there. Including an almost encyclopedic knowledge of ‘candy’, and some friends in high places in the social media world.
-
Sarah
She's worked everywhere from Puma to a pea factory, loves ticking off a good list and is abnormally perky in the mornings.
-
Jake
Hates: people who won't pay for deck chairs (like Jeremy Irons, who felt Jake's wrath and ended up on the floor). Likes: peanut butter.
-
Carlos
Thinks of himself as one part geek and one part Jason Bourne, but in reality he's just a guy that kind of looks like Superman and drinks pink cocktails. Sigh.
-
Jess
This Cape Town girl is our number one Aerosmith fan, and even has the tattoo to prove it. But her guilty pleasure? Eastenders!
-
Beatriz
Hailing from Madrid, Beatriz now devours the London music scene. She's also handy with a javelin, which basically means she's incredibly good at spear throwing. Gulp.
-
Luca
...or Ayeye, as everyone calls him, is our tall, dark Italian. He can't stand cheese, but makes up for this by cooking a darn good risotto, killing it on the drums, and loving Monty Python.
-
Mike
He's social and geeky (he says). And he writes for tech sites/magazines while watching really bad reality TV like Geordie Shore and Made in Chelsea. Yep. Mikey is one crazy paradox.
-
Alistair
Ruffling feathers upon his arrival by swiftly removing Matt from his tallest-man-in-office position. (Matt held it for 3 years.) Ali claims to be as big as a door. He is.
-
Anand
He's one of those guys who can take a computer apart and put it back together again. After which it still works. Incredible.
-
Monica
This Hispanic senorita is our resident dancing queen, chinwagger and serial shopper. But give her a gruesome, murder-ridden thriller to read and she'll be engrossed for hours. The saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' springs to mind.
-
Paolo
Don Paulo isn't that Don at all. He's more Dom since he would choose Domino pizza over the real Italian deal any day. Shame on you. He's also a great guitarist.
-
Rachel
A natural writer with a superb imagination to boot, Rachel lived in France for 2 years and knows her croissants from her pain au chocolat.
-
Laurence
Likes to be known as ‘just the guy in the corner’, however, when not quietly musing over photon behaviour and oxidisation processes, he's out on his surfboard catching the next big wave.
-
Andy
Loves salsa – the dip, not the dance. But, what he lacks in fancy footwork, he makes up for in charisma. With an invite to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee lunch and an afternoon spent charming the lovely Kate Middleton, he must have a few tricks up his sleeve.
-
Marie
Always wearing a smile and some lippy (she doesn't leave home without it), this Mademoiselle is as cool as a cucumber.
-
Simon
Our resident DJ likes loves nothing more than warbling along to X Factor and having a good ol' natter with his wife… Ahhh.
-
Natasha
Let this lady eat cake! She loves it, as well as a good home brew, trawling through junk shops and watching Grand Designs on McCloud nine!
-
Neil
Cosmic disco + peanut butter sandwiches = one happy Neil
-
Damiano
This adventurous culture vulture enjoys spreading his wings, especially when parachuting from 13,000ft!
-
Josh
Originally from Boston, Josh has created integrated campaigns, websites and social media content for a range of audiences, brands and industries. But his real talent lies in writing copy that you would actually want to read. Recent clients include Maybelline, Isaac Mizrahi and Time Inc.
-
Rhonda
Rhonda is charged with overseeing production and operations. She joins the leadership team with years of experience managing integrated digital and experiential campaigns at agencies such as The Barbarian Group, Deep Focus and TBWA\Chiat\Day to name a few.
-
Doug
Give this guy a one-handed clap but don't be disheartened if he's not impressed. It's his thing.
-
Nicola
Our former synchronised swimmer has super bendy fingers and loves a good luggage trunk.
-
Justina
(Quiet time for Justina here please). She loves awkward silences, as well as frilly socks, bears and beards.
-
Ciaran
Food is always on this guy's radar, whether it's hateful mushrooms or delightful Raspberry Pi.
-
Amelia
A creative with a flair for words, Amelia loves to draw in her spare time. But don't be fooled by her sweet nature; she's a crack shot on computer games.
-
Michelle
Our tech-whiz turned super producer loves a good curry and a natter. But don't cross her – when she was small she reported her parents to HRH.
-
Bradley
-
Jay
Is there anything this guy can't do?! He climbed Mt Fuji, took part in a 24-hour race on Gran Turismo - and won - and speaks fluent Japanese. Exhausted? So are we.
-
Matthew
A bit of an anorak when it comes to politics, this calm and friendly chap can rattle on about the cabinet for hours. If ever you want to change the subject, just mention cricket. ‘Statman’ Matthew has always been a sucker for numbers and has worked on projects for ITV, Jack Daniel’s and Vodafone.
-
Marta
Our sassy producer from Barcelona is as efficient as she is talented. She's a guitar-strumming, watermelon-munching hockey champ – and can probably juggle all three at once.
