Dynamic Duos: Edge’s David Arns and James Gillespie
Edge’s senior creative duo David Arns and James Gillespie have graced the creative teams of R/GA, The Works and now Edge. The pair spoke to Mumbrella about how their close friendship has managed to survive through many thousands of hours spent working together across a range of exciting and interesting creative campaigns.
In Dynamic Duos, Mumbrella each fortnight asks two members of the same organisation with a professional and personal affiliation, to share with readers the importance of workplace relationships in an increasingly work-from-home world.
David Arns: James and I met at R/GA in Sydney about 6 years ago. My previous Art Director Steve had returned home to Perth and left me to search for another agency and a new creative partner. Steve was a cool dude with a biker-esque beard and we were good mates, so needless to say I felt like it was going to be difficult to find someone else who could live up to his high bearded standards.
