Paul Weston, EP of Colonel Blimp, says: “I’ve been a big fan of Leila and Damien’s work for years. They are true artists and I’m beyond excited about them being part of the roster here at Colonel Blimp. They are totally unique in the world of advertising and I think they bring something really exceptional to every script they get their hands on.”
De Blinkk add: “Joining Colonel Blimp feels like being back in art school. A corner with a big circuit board where the ‘ultra creative’ button sits effortlessly next to the ‘super professional” button. It instantly felt like home really.”
