The Glue Society was founded in Australia in 1998 by former ad agency creatives Jonathan Kneebone and Gary Freedman.
Reluctant to step aside from the day-to-day business of coming up with ideas, they formed the company to focus on writing, design, and direction. The company now has offices in Sydney and New York, while their portfolio of work stretches across media to incorporate graphic design, sculpture, installations, and broadcast television alongside more traditional print and TV advertising. -
