ABOUT ME
A POET, DREAMER AND CREATIVE SOUL
Luke AG is an award-winning poet with a distinctly political message. He uses poetry and rhyme to navigate identity, society, and the narrative of his own life. Originally from Hastings, many of his poems explore his journey from a small town to a big city, with a couple of pit stops and observations along the way.
As well as poetry, Luke is an award winning brand strategist and has worked with brands including O2, Cadbury, White Claw, Google and Canon. Since 2017, Luke has worked at VCCP in London and New York and heads up the agency's diversity and inclusion collective. Accolades include APG Silver for Twirl Orange and Campaign Faces to Watch in 2020.
Luke also has a passion for art direction and graphic design. In 2021, he has started working closely with George The Poet on social media content and visuals for shows and performances at The Barbican and Backyard Cinema.
