MEET CRAIG AND ROB
Rob Warner
Craig on Rob -
"My first encounter with Rob was a strange one - I had just been appointed Global Creative Director for Puma’s apparel collections, but Rob was about to leave Puma for Nike.
The headhunter brokering the deal told me to check him out as she thought I'd like him and that he was an asset to the brand.
So, I'm at Puma's Global Sales meeting in Frankfurt and there was Rob on stage, presenting his latest creative vision for Puma Football to 600 people - blowing the whole room away aged just 25.
I told the headhunter "he’s going nowhere" and made a deal to keep him at Puma (not many people knew that, until now!).
We soon became lifelong friends and together have created some of the most innovative products to grace our industry.
Rob’s been a rock for me since and I learn from him every day."
Craig Buglass
Rob on Craig -
"Craig and I had a lot of mutual contacts in the industry before we ever met. I'd heard great things about him, personally and professionally, and I knew he was someone I'd get on with.
At first he was my boss at Puma, but we had a unique relationship - being able to socialise whilst still respecting each other's roles and perspectives in the office. Most of the time!
In the years after Puma we partnered again on a couple of projects before the stars aligned in 2016 and we went into business together. First with our design agency, and now the Academy.
We've been friends for over 15 years now, but he still never ceases to amaze me with his incisive thinking, human approach and great sense of humour."
