Independent agency Berlin has appointed Will Miles design director.
Miles most recently ran his own consultancy, Nice Monday, after moving to WA. Prior he’d worked at Sydney's Special and Havas Host as creative director, before co-founding the globally-acclaimed branding and design studio UNKL.
Berlin managing partner and co-founder John Linton said it’s an absolute boon to welcome someone of Miles' calibre into the agency full-time.
"We’re very deliberate with our model – slowly building a small team of world-class, in-house leaders that our clients will always have direct relationships with; while also expanding our network of specialist creative and production freelancers we can match to specific client needs," Linton said.
"Will’s a very important piece to the puzzle.”
Berlin executive creative director and co-founder Rich Berney said Miles has got such nice colours – for example, his beard is a rich orange.
"Also, he laughs a lot and loves the heck out of his kids. He’s a wonderful man, really. I think we’re going to be great friends," Berney said.
Miles said Linton and Berney are unique talents and lovely human beings.
"That combo, plus their ambition for Berlin to not only be outrageously good but also do some good was super appealing," Miles said.
"I can't wait to get started and get my suit jacket dry-cleaned.”
