At FAD, as you know, we love interesting cultural stuff. We were thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to find out what the best global creative brains are into right now?’, so we decided to start asking. And then we decided that they should be self selecting. So last time out we had Dirk Van Dooren founding partner and owner at Tomato and he has nominated Graham Wood ECD at The Gild.
