Simon Shaw

My role at H+K is to lead the first ‘Global Centre of Creative Strategy’ in addition to taking responsibility for quality of the strategic and creative output of the London agency. The ‘Center of Creative Strategy’ is a global initiative to embrace change, and equip the H+K network for the challenges the agency and clients face, now and in the future. The purpose is to unify the offices and skills within our network by inspiring more open, creative and curious conversations for the benefit our clients, our people and the communities where we work.

I believe narrative is key to delivering the most memorable and enduring work. It is the thread that links the world’s greatest architecture and art to the most effective communication campaigns. It is through developing and embedding narratives in our programmes and delivering them exquisitely that we will produce our most effective and remembered work.

In 2017 we launched the Shanghai Addition to complement our existing offices in China.

The Shangha Additioni is the home to our first Innovation + Creative hub. It houses a fluid and agile multi-national team focused on the new services and products demanded by a changing global communications landscape. Its purpose is to serve the global ambitions of Chinese brands developing strategies to connect them with audiences around the world through H+K’s extensive network.

The team currently works with Huawei, Honor, Envision and Wanda among others.
