Lee Simpson, CEO of whiteGREY, said: “We have built our agency on being as fluent in technology as we are in creativity and our diverse mix of thinkers help make this a reality. Jono’s arrival can only elevate and accelerate this further. And with Magda and Jono joining our exec team recently, it’s an exciting time for the agency.”

His work has been recognised at creative, technology and effectiveness awards including Cannes Lions, FWA, D&AD, FWA, Webby, AWARD and Effies.
Casley said: “My passion lies where creativity meets technology, weaving experience design and interactivity into compelling narratives that cut through the noise. whiteGREY is the perfect place to do just this.
“The Tension Creates Extraordinary positioning particularly resonates with me. It closely aligns with my objective to use disruptive technology to challenge the status quo and move provocative ideas into the zeitgeist,” he added.
