GBH (design and advertising agency)

GBH (Gregory Bonner Hale) is a London-based design and advertising agency founded in 1999 by Jason Gregory, Mark Bonner and Peter Hale. The studio's proposition is that it 'is not Design, it is not Digital and it is not Campaign, but it works in the space between these disciplines, fusing crafts in order to make work that cuts through'.^[4]
