WE ARE SAM ADIO AND KEN ABALOS

Creative team who skipped ad school. Spent a long time building our student book and even longer on placements across London. Got hired at Havas London in November 2019. By 2021, our work for The Black Plaque Project led the agency to one their most awarded year and helped get Havas shortlisted for Agency of the Year.

Our highlights include opening a specialised pop up restaurant, installing historic landmarks, inventing new products and pushing brands into unexpected territories. 

We're currently making cool stuff at VCCP.
