Former M&C Saatchi leads, CCO Cam Blackley and CSO Emily Taylor, have launched a creative company, Bureau of Everything, that is supported by an advisory board featuring Jeff Goodby.
The new office they say responds to changes in the industry promising creative work that brands need rather than creative work they want to make, built on top tier strategic and creative thinking.
Bureau of Everything creative founder, Cam Blackley, stated, “Bureau is a response to what we have been hearing from clients for years. Opting for a strat/creative directorship as the core for more impactful problem solving. We want to partner with brands and people who are also feeling the urgency for change.”
Bureau of Everything strategic founder Emily Taylor, added, “We have designed a creative company to truly answer the Big Question we hear from clients: What is my business problem and how will you solve it?
“We are purposefully super senior, purposefully leaner, and purposefully flexible. Mixing brand and digital skills, uniting business and brand thinkers with the ability to shape teams depending on the brief. This model allows us to always have a rock-solid foundation but still be bespoke and importantly, a lot less ‘cookie cutter’”
The work intends to never be less than unmissable. “There is no alternative unless you like setting piles of money on fire,” Blackley stated.
“I’m really impressed by Cam and Emily’s determination to bring a whole new way of interacting with clients in order to get things right,” commented Jeff Goodby. “It’s about time.”
Blackley left M&C Saatchi in October last year after nearly six years. Taylor left two months later. They worked together for four years at M&C, winning 2 Gold Effies in the last 2 years together, plus creating LA Short Film Festival for Tourism Australia’s G’day the Movie and the most watched TED Talk in 2021 for Minderoo’s Thrive By 5, a Green One Show Pencil and a D&AD Yellow Pencil for Minderoo’s Plastic Forecast announced last week.
The pair has collected dozens of Effies, a D&AD Black Pencil and a Titanium Cannes Lion at top agencies throughout the world including Droga 5 NY & SYD, AMV, AKQA LDN, Leo Burnett, BMF and M&C Saatchi Group.
