Grey London has appointed Liam Thomas as head of design to lead its team of designers, animators and artworkers.

Thomas, who joins from DEPT® where he was head of design, recently won a Webby for his work on “The Truth, Undressed” for Canesten, which also picked up a Bronze Clio at the 2023 Clio Awards, and a Gold Clio at the Clio Health Awards 2023. 

In his new role, Thomas will work across all Grey London clients reporting to executive creative director David Wigglesworth. Thomas will oversee the 15-strong design team, including artworkers in London, working periodically with Grey’s sister agency in Croatia. 

In previous roles, Thomas has worked on major accounts including Nike, Tinder, Under Armour and Twitch, and worked as sr. designer at Manifesto Studios and Made Thought & AnalogFolk before joining DEPT® in May 2022.

Thomas is also a co-founder of SOMEDAY--a creative experiment rooted in Welsh culture which he set up with Dave Griffiths, to explore Welsh stories through design, events, apparel and conversation.

He is deeply passionate about addressing the attainment and accessibility gap within the advertising industry and has worked directly with schools and colleges in Wales, his hometown, to mentor students and support them as they explore what creative career opportunities are out there.
