Adam&EveDDB CCO Richard Brim and CSO Martin Beverley are set to depart from the creative agency to set up their own business.

Brim has worked as CCO at the London shop for more than 11 years and Beverley has led the strategy department for nine years.

Brim said: “As we write this, we are still questioning why we would leave such a wonderful place packed with such talented people. Whilst we are very proud of what we have achieved here, it’s now time for something different.”

The agency, which is part of Omnicom and operates globally, has said replacements for Brim and Beverley have not yet been confirmed.

Adam&EveDDB CEO Miranda Hipwell added: “While we’re obviously extremely sad to be losing Rick and Martin, we’re so proud of everything we’ve achieved together and very excited to see them head off to become entrepreneurs.

“Start-ups are a crucial contributor to the lifeblood of our industry – as the tremendous success of Adam&EveDDB and its previous incarnations has proven over the years – and it’s wonderful to see the agency spawning a new generation of entrepreneurs.

“Meanwhile we’re looking forward to the next chapter of Adam&EveDDB as we expand and build on the success we’ve had in 2024.”
