About



Hello, we’re Ed Ryder 🇬🇧(Art) and Joe Craig 🇳🇿(Copy), an Amsterdam-based freelance Creative Director team.

Since going freelance 3 years ago, we’ve worked with top agencies in London, New York, Amsterdam and Shanghai. Prior to that, we led the global Lay’s, Under Armour, Amstel, HBO Max and Heineken accounts at 180.

Our work has been awarded at all the major award shows, picked up by BBC News, The Guardian, ESPN and Vogue, and featured in the bestselling advertising bible “Hey Whipple, Squeeze This”.

Between us we have over 25 years’ experience, multiple awards, and very little hair.
