Adrian Holmes

Adrian Holmes is co-founder of the advertising agency Ancient & Modern.

His first job was as junior copywriter at Grey in 1976.

He went on to work at such agencies as Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, CDP and WCRS.

However, he spent most of his career at Lowe Howard-Spink (later Lowe), where he eventually became worldwide chief creative officer.

In 2020, he briefly considered retirement, but decided there was more fun to be had writing ads at his new agency.

He is a lousy golfer anyway.
