Nick Rees, Partner and Global Creative Director at Bulletproof, said: “Tony has been hugely influential in the growth of Bulletproof to date. His approach to the challenges that face our clients is cutting edge and I have no doubt he’ll continue to push our New York creative team onto new heights. Dan is someone that we’ve admired for many years and we feel it’s a bit of a coup to finally have him in the tribe. He’s got boundless energy and adds an exciting dimension to our brand thinking that will stretch our approach to new extremes.  We are continuing to build a culture of creative excellence throughout the business and with James also influencing with his concepting and craft, we feel prepared for any challenge that comes our way.”
