Meet The HUMANS

We’re a global community of Makers and Mentors, each bringing unique expertise to the table. Whether you choose an individual or create your own ‘Dream Tribe’ through our platform , you’ll get exactly the talent you need.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Here’s what our HUMANS have to say:

When you play a game, any game, for twenty plus years, you want to surround yourself with players who have failed at least as much as you have, taken as many leaps of faith as you have, found as many ways that don’t work as you have, felt ready to quit as many times as you have, so that when you put all that experience together, there is no way you can lose. That’s why I am honored to have been invited to play for such a team, where everyone helps each other succeed, with mad skills and negligible ego, and, most importantly, whose time has come.

Stefan Boublil, Brand Event Specialist & Creative Partner

Group Of Humans is a team of experts and, at the same time, a community of learners. It gives me a space to belong, collaborate, and connect with the kindest, most valuable HUMANS around.

Dr. Katie Van Horne, Research Partner

Much of my career, from grad school to the studios that I worked in and the one I founded, was a search for the conversation I wanted to be a part of. When I joined Group Of Humans I felt like I finally found that conversation. It’s about design and possibility and delivering a better world. My HUMAN colleagues have helped me see and do more in my practice and in the world.

Alex Smith, Design Partner

I joined Group Of Humans for a chance to work with some of the brightest and best in the creative industries. The people who have inspired me throughout my career are here in the group. The fact there’s no office and that everyone is everywhere is also a big draw for me. Things are done because they make sense for us and our customers, not because that’s the way it’s been done before.

Suzie Webb, Design Human

Unlike the standard agency who bring together the same old cookie cutter crew Group Of Humans brings together a great diversity of disciplines and people from many walks of life. It all stacks up to an incredible pool of people to work with supported by a Founder and black-ops back-office team with the chutzpah, integrity and hustle to fight for the very best projects that are out there. I’m hugely grateful to be a part of this astonishing collective.

Clare Townhill, Strategy Partner

I’ve worked remotely with clients for twenty years and in that time have seen huge progress in the technologies that enable it and the attitudes of companies towards it. But there remained a market-wide gap in the ready availability of a multifaceted and coherent skill set outside of the traditional agency model. Group of Humans fills that gap by offering the very best people across a range of creative disciplines from around the world – decentralised, networked and ready to work at speed. I’m proud to be a HUMAN among them.

Duncan Madden, Content Human

The Humans keeps me inspired and giving back. It’s an incredibly talented, generous experts from a huge range of backgrounds, who ask themselves difficult questions and set about solving them.There’s a wild alchemy to the ideas this community brings forth and the flexibility to work fast and in a flat structure. We have each others backs, and that’s invaluable.

Victoria Kirk, Strategy Partner

Joining the Humans has opened many doors to new ways of thinking, seeing creativity and working in worlds that they have given me access to. I’m excited to see what projects and opportunities arise in the future and know that I will be inspired by all the incredible minds that work within the group.

Jack Penate, Musician & Creative Human

They say you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with. Group Of Humans is the cream of the crop (and then some) and being with this crew is like getting a PhD in creative thinking. Every. Single. Day. Since joining, I’ve stretched, learned and grown as a practitioner, leader, and overall innovative thinker by being surrounded by the incredibly inspiring people and work that thrives in this group. Just when I think it couldn’t possibly get any more amazing, it does. 

Lisa deBettencourt, Design Strategy Human

Every area I work in needs different skills to get ideas from A-Z and I’m not always able to do everything, so being part of Group Of Humans gets me a set of extra gears, more opportunities and some new friends. If pushed for a definition I’d call it a tribe of purposeful creatives who believe that technology is wonderful…but it’s way better with people.

Kevin Godley, Creative Polymath Human

To be part of Group Of Humans is to be granted access to working with some of the great talents in the industry. A true test of one own skills and experience. A place to learn and be inspired, but also place that grants the freedom to express oneself creatively without the usual limitations of corporate life. A place for grown ups to express themsleves through their very best work, and make new lifelong inspirational friends and colleagues.

Peter Drake, Creative Partner

Group Of Humans is a brilliant, highly functional, generous, creative force that constantly looks towards the future — and what we can shift for that future for ourselves, our clients and society — yet is rooted in the collective real life experience of this thoughtfully curated TRIBE. Kudos to founder, Rob Noble, for having an innate instinct for finding and connecting some of the most creative, imaginative and inspiring humans that I have the honor of collaborating with. I am in awe everyday of my colleagues and the work that comes from this collective.

Kat Egan, Growth Partner

It’s an honor and a pleasure to be involved with such a diverse group of HUMANS. My normal “day job” usually involved space and very technical things, and it’s great and refreshing to be amongst a Tribe who come from so many different backgrounds. The breadth of their experience, the expertise they have and their connections is so impressive.

Terry Virts, Astro Human
