Before W+K, Allen worked at TBWA/Chiat/Day, New York.
Craig has won the industry’s most prestigious awards including an Emmy, two Cannes Lion Grand Prix, Best In Show at The One Show and ANDY Awards. As well as two Black D&AD Pencils and the Grand Effie. He was selected as one of the 50 most creative people in the world by Creativity Magazine.
