Laurence (Lolly) Thomson is Joint Chief Creative Officer of McCann UK and Co-President of McCann London, an advertising agency of some acclaim. Alongside long-time partner Rob Doubal, they are two men living on a rock in a galaxy quietly pursuing happiness while trying to create a better place for future generations. Done in part by helping the worlds’ best marketers forge out places of interest for their brands, with purpose-led, contextually relevant, innovative work. Lolly is about the same age as he looks. He used to look younger. He likes unconstrained disruptive ideas, and interesting people, but has a lot to learn about writing in the third person. Champion of creativity as a mentor, panelist, writer, and industry juror, he thirsts for inspiration and dreams of one day winning a BAFTA. He’s also busy being a dad to two beautiful girls.
