Ewan Paterson

Before joining Atomic, Ewan was group CCO at Mullen Lowe. Prior to that he co-founded BBH Sport in 2014 with England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio. From 2010 to 2014 Ewan was CCO of DDB Chicago where he transformed the creative credentials and growth for the agency. Prior to that Ewan was Creative Leader of The & Partnership during its most successful creative period on record and before that he was creative leader at DDB London, during which time the agency was the most successful British Agency at Cannes.

His trophy cabinet is fit to burst as well - Winning over 40 Cannes Lions, over 100 pieces of work selected in D&AD including 6 Yellow Pencils and 17 Yellow Pencil nominations.

As Creative Non-Executive Director, Ewan will be there to lead our creative mission at the most senior level, as opposed to being too involved in the day to day running of the creative department. Including coaching and mentoring the ECD and creative teams, helping to attract the best creative talent, guiding and shaping the agency and group proposition and most important of all; take our work to the next level of creativity.

He'll also be fundamental in helping us attract, convert, and integrate newly acquired capabilities into the agency and ensure they are part of a clear group creative strategy.

We hope you agree this is a big gear shift for us in terms of backing our creative ambition and to top it all, he’s one of the most decent, human creative leaders in the business and so we are confident he’ll be a great fit for Atomic.
