Denomination is increasing its capabilities in design innovation and sustainability with new appointees: Executive Creative Director Butler Looney (shown here), Managing Director Simon Gawn, and Creative Director Jonny Kearns. The three new leadership appointments to Denomination’s US, Australian and UK offices are intended “to bolster the agency’s capacity for design innovation at a global scale.” Rowena Curlewis, CEO and Co-Founder of Denomination, says the appointments are a step towards the goal of “leading change with new thinking in all areas: design, innovation and sustainability.”

Previously he was VP, Creative Director at Headspace Health and prior to this, held the same role at Ginger, an on-demand mental healthcare company that then merged with Headspace.
