A few kind words...
“Kean doesn't enter a room, he bounds into it - and that incredible energy is evident in everything he does - he is passion for ideas and people, personified. Every brief is attacked with unfailing positivity and energy, he lifts up those around him and clients simply can't say no to him. He's a joy to work with and creates ideas that are insightful and beautifully crafted - he's a wonderful addition to any department.”
