Adam Horne
Creative Director
Berghs School of Communication
G'day, I'm Adam, a Creative Director from Australia. I'm driven by curiosity. And fear, money, and a love of expensive cheeses, but mainly I'm driven by curiosity...I do it all because I'm curious about how people tick. I want to know how everything works. Why is something funnier in Finland than in France? Why do some people love sudoku while others share memes? I'm Creative Director (Berghs Studio) at Berghs School of Communication. I built a career balancing professional practice and teaching in Australia, France, and Sweden. That meant working at Wunderman, CHE Proximity, and Havas in Australia while teaching at Swinburne and Monash universities. In Paris, I worked at McCann and taught at ISCOM. And in Stockholm, I work at Berghs, a school that's won the AKQA Future Lions School of the Year Award seven times in the last decade. I run commercial communication projects with students and teach, podcast, blog, and help develop new products. I'm also run Berghs Advanced — a hardcore 15-week portfolio course. My real job is to help people find their voice and use it to fix problems. Find their strengths by tuning their past into a secret weapon for the future in the communication industry. So I help people win awards more than winning them for myself. I enjoy cross-country shopping, deep-sea reading, downhill mountain painting, long-distance sculpture, and gravy training when I'm not working.
