NICK HOWARD AND NICK STONER ARE CURRENTLY GLOBAL GROUP Creative directors AT OPENX.
Together, their work has helped them birth a movie starring Luke Skywalker, sculpt modern art on view at LACMA, compose an orchestra, film a super bowl spot in Frank Sinatra’s house, premiere a documentary, design a controller out of a beer can, sell spaceships, write copy in The New York Times, rebrand the entire sport of baseball and they’ve never once forced the other to change their name.
In 2022, their work for Clash of Clans was awarded two Grand Prix at Cannes. It also won the Film Grand Clio, Two Grands at Clio Entertainment, Best of Gaming at the One Show and the Webby for Best Documentary, propelling Wieden + Kennedy Portland to Independent Agency of the Year and onto Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list. In 2021, they were named to Adweek’s Creative 100 and their work with Alex Prager at DDB helped LACMA open their doors to the public for the first time since the Pandemic began - leading Miller Lite to its first One Show Gold Pencils and Cannes Lions. With over 100 international advertising awards, including a Best of Discipline in mobile, the #1 trending video on YouTube twice, and two Super Bowl spots, they are obsessed with ideas that are simple, powerful, and demand a reaction.
If you like their work, say hi. If you want to tell them they missed a much more ironic opportunity playing for The Knicks, please send an email:
