Established by CCO and Founder Andrew Jones and CEO Co-Founder James Callahan in 2008, FutureDeluxe is part of the Forever Group, a network of award-winning design, technology and creative companies developed in 2023 that also includes Tendril and Builder’s Club. The creative studio has earned a reputation for delivering pioneering design-led visual content, brand identities, and experiences for the likes of Adidas, Google, Sonos and Apple. With a diverse team of 80+ directors, motion designers, VFX artists and creative technologists globally, FutureDeluxe’s creative work often combines hyper-futuristic and abstract art with the latest in motion technology.
Executive Creative Directors and veterans of the brand’s London studio; Ant Baena, and Raj Davsi will be leading the creative offering in the US to ensure FutureDeluxe’s DNA is ingrained in the US, alongside Ellis Garrod, Managing Director for New York, and new hire Maria Hanafy, Managing Director for Los Angeles.
Combining their signature experimental ethos with their research-driven creative approach, FutureDeluxe’s ambition involves further expanding their ecosystem of top-tier artists and creative technologists to help brands create cutting-edge and visually stunning experiences that resonate on a global stage.
Global CCO and Co-Founder Andrew Jones comments, “We are lucky enough to have some of the best visual artists and creative innovators in the world within our team, and I’m hugely looking forward to further developing our talent network in the US. What sets us apart from traditional creative studios is our relentless commitment to experimentation and iteration, allowing our artists to constantly flex their creative muscles and explore new aesthetics, concepts & technologies. That is when our best work is made. I believe our unique approach to working with artists and clients alike will offer a refreshing new perspective to our creative partners in the US, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can create together!”
