Luke Williamson is joint Creative Director, with Yan Elliott, at leading advertising agency, WCRS.
Williamson started out as a Graphic Designer. After a degree in Typography and Design he went on to run his own studio for a while before promptly realising it wasn't going to work. He then did a stint of freelancing at Lowe Howard Spink working on campaigns for Diesel under the Creative Directorship of Steve Dunn. Finding advertising much more invigorating he chose to pursue freelance advertising work.
It wasn't long before start-up agency Mother approached him to come on board as an Art Director under the watchful pen of Yan Elliott in 1998. He worked at Mother for eight years, creating winning ads for Supernoodles, Kiss FM, Dr Pepper and most notably the Orange Cinema campaign. Williamson and Elliott joined WCRS in 2005 charged with raising the creative bar. They have produced award-winning work for Transport for London, 3, Brylcreem and Sky and were recently voted No.1 in an Esquire magazine poll to find 'the most sought-after purveyors of original thought'.
Williamson will be showing and discussing work.
