About me
"Omar Karim is a creative anomaly - part entrepreneur, part designer, part technologist, part copywriter - he's basically incredibly difficult to define. Before entering the world of marketing, Omar ran a street art gallery and experimental pirate radio station, going on to launch a digital magazine called Bones, documenting creative culture around the world. His unique take on the world led to a job at Fallon where he worked on Sony, BBC, Orange and Cadbury's across the briefs no-one knew what to do with. Whilst at Fallon Omar released his first record in Australia, going on to make music videos for Wiley and MJ Cole which won acclaim from The Sun. Since then Omar has traveled the world and worked at a range of agencies including 101, Work Club, R/GA and Anomaly. As a freelance senior specialising in copywriting and idea generation. Most recently Omar founded "Prawn Comet" - a creative innovation company and the first business to be registered as an emoji in the UK."

Last year, Campaign’s "Future creative leaders" made its debut. The result was a talent-quake. Those who explained away the lack of female creatives in their departments by saying, "We just can’t seem to find the talent", no longer had an excuse. Now, this list has a life of its own. In 2017, we had 70 entrants; this year, we had 170, all the way up to creative director level. So,
