Profile
About
Ron Brown was one of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO’s first art directors, and David Abbott’s long term creative partner. His work has been described as some of the most celebrated in advertising history, and includes campaigns for The Economist, Volvo, and RSPCA, which included the controversial ‘pile of dead dogs’ creative. “Ron’s art direction looked effortless, but it was anything but,” wrote Paul Brazier, in an obituary published in Campaign in 2015. “He would often be there at his desk or down in the studio after most people had left, perfecting his work.”
