    Feb 8 2025

    What happens when an adman with the swagger of a rockstar and the creative chops of a legend shakes up the communications industry? You get Robert Campbell, the mind behind some of advertising’s most iconic campaigns.

    From shaping ads for Virgin, Lego, BMW, Jaguar, The Times, L’Oréal, and more, to co-founding Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, one of the UK's most successful independent agencies before being bought by Y&R. Robert’s career is the stuff of industry folklore. Oh, and did we mention we’ve got the untold story of Uncommon Studios’ Co-Founder Nils Leonard, who once worked under him? Yeah, you’ll want to hear this.

    🔥 Epic stories, career-defining lessons from his old boss David Abbott, and proof that advertising really is the original rock ‘n’ roll industry.
