Per Pedersen leaves Grey to launch & The Network – a new kind of Global network owned by the agencies

Change language:

When Per Pedersen, one of the world’s most creatively recognized and awarded creatives, left Grey as Global Creative Chairman this summer, it was not for another position. Instead he went independent and is now launching a highly curated Global network of agencies with an important twist. This network is owned by an exclusive collective of independent agencies.

“It’s time to re-think what it means to be a network”, Per Pedersen explains and continues, “I’ve gathered a global creative dream-team of the best of the best creative people I’ve met and worked with over the years. All are extra-ordinary creative mavericks behind some of our industry’s most exciting agencies. All with a long trail of outstanding creative work”.
