Interdisciplinary brand and digital executive creative director with 25+ years experience in brand creation and transformation, experience design, digital products, websites, motion, film, and campaigns. Working with all scales from daring startups to category defining global enterprises. Agency and client side. Co-founder of Supermoon, a boutique brand strategy and design firm based in San Francisco. With a combination of brand development, marketing and digital product backgrounds, I specialize in helping to build holistic, sustainable, end-to-end brand worlds: establishing logical strategic differentiation and a strong narrative, and bringing everything to life through elegantly crafted identities and experiences. I run point on creative with programs in a range of B2C and B2B areas including emerging tech, consumer electronics, automotive, travel, fintech, material science and luxury products. I collaborate with senior clients to develop the initial brief, then lead creative ideation, design and development from core identity to the tiniest beautiful details, and ultimately, help them deliver successful real-world activation. Over the last 15 years I've had the fortune to be able to form and lead several world-class multidisciplinary, international creative teams in Europe and the US. And together, gone on to win multiple awards at prestigious shows including Cannes, Eurobest, and D&AD as well as a shelf's worth of digital design awards and product design recognition. Always looking for new things to make better. Supermoon: www.supermoon.us Archived portfolio: www.mikehambleton.com
