"Mike has an incredible work ethic and raging curiosity to learn new things - both hallmarks of great creative. He brings a volume of ideas and a sense of urgency to his work that I have rarely seen in my San Francisco years."
DAVID SHEARER, VP Marketing at Box
Mike is no less than brilliant. His rare mind is a tremendous asset to crafting profound and actionable strategy. His knowledge runs deep; past the workings of advertising, business and modern culture down to fundamentals of humanity. He routinely connects observations to their origins in philosophy, history and social architecture that liberates creativity and reframes the beliefs of clients and colleagues.”
BILL WURZ, VP of Product at Mindswarms
“Mike has a nearly endless surplus of broad societal knowledge. The thoughtfulness of a strategist, the knowledge base of a scientist and the creativity of a classics author. I really enjoyed working with Mike.”
NICO VAN PRAAG, Partner, Chief Strategy Officer, Kenwood Solutions
"During my time as Creative Director at Curio and as Managing Director of Virtuality, Mike has been central to the majority of work undertaken by both companies. And has proved himself to be one of the most original creative thinkers and expert copywriters I have ever had the pleasure to work with. With Mike’s help, Virtuality has continued to grow existing business and to attract a host of new organisations."
SIMON DYER, Managing Director, Virtuality
No one understands how to build major brands like Mike. And no one has more discipline in doing it. Sure, he's a great creative talent - but he's also a very strategic mind. The sort of mind we needed to help kick Visa Signature to the next level. Mike is talented, passionate, driven and dedicated to delivering change. I'm fortunate to have worked with him!"
RUDI ANGGONO, Head of Creative, Google
"Mike is an amazing and inspiring creative mind. He has the ability to identify minute issues with a brand or strategy and change them for the better.”
JONATHAN ZERAH, Producer at R/GA
"The great thing about Mike is that whatever the client, or whatever the job we were asked to tackle he would bring fresh ideas, and a new way of looking at the problem.. Enjoyable and smart, a rare combination."
JOHN GORDON, Digital Director Brand Design, Nike
He's the finest, most rigorous writer I've ever worked with. I value Mike as a creative partner, a conscience, a bullshit detector, and as someone who brings his best game every single day."
MARK KINGSLEY, Creative Director, Landor
Mike Kerr is one of the most creative people I've ever met. Brimming with enthusiasm and out-of-the-box ideas, Mike is always pushing the boundaries with thinking that never fails to challenge and surprise.”
KARLA COOKE, Group Strategic Director at Strategy D&
Mike is the finest creative mind I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His ideas are invariably bold, simple and powerful. They demand the attention of consumers and award juries alike. A Mike Kerr idea is as hard-working as it is delightful. Mike is a leader who brings out the best in his colleagues, whether Art Director, Account Manager or Client. If you desire heavyweight brainpower to deliver powerful ideas for your account - and galvanise a team - I have no hesitation in recommending Mike Kerr to you."
RICHARD CLARK, Planning Director at McCann Enterprise
"Mike is one of the most enthusiastic creatives I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He approaches all work with the primary goal of bringing the brand to the next level with ferocious creativity. Bonus points for being able to make esoteric references to Greek classics and then tying them back to pop culture in a mind-bending fashion."
MIKE KENNY, Associate Director, Interaction Design @ Smart Design
"His enthusiasm is completely infectious. He's dedicated to giving 100% effort on every project."
HUAN NGHIEM, Creative Director at Google
"An inspirational creative, a brilliant writer, a strategic bulldog, and that's all before the rest of the agency gets in by 9am. I worked with Mike on some of Visa's most trying business challenges and we came through with flying colors. From building Visa Signature's first strategic platform to developing an award winning travel campaign, Mike's passion for great work was always driving us to be better."
JUSTIN MANFREIDI, Senior Director, Digital Marketing at Activision
