Three talks in seven days.
As a team we spend a lot of time crafting work to be both timely and timeless - it’s only right for us to represent everyone on stage and to a mini-road show of @csmgraphics@apalondon and @alwayscreate.co giving our work the airtime it deserves.
As a creator said why spend six months creating something, then only six minutes talking about it.
We love sharing work we’re very proud of the combination of cultural curiosity and commercial conviction behind everything we put out into the world.
Fred Again is in the headlines at the moment for a run of triumphant residencies in New York and London. With the final shows at Alexandra Palace bringing together British music icons – Underworld, Mike Skinner, JME and more – it’s been a celebratory extended victory lap for the DJ and record producer’s USB002 global tour.
The global tour identity, created by design studio @explorersclub.studio used simplicity and scalability to give ravers ownership of the events and plant the DJ’s flag around the world. LBB’s Ben Conway speaks with creative director Aaron Skipper (@aaron__skipper ) to find out more. “We were brought in to create a simple and repeatable visual system that could evolve alongside the shows. Our goal was to reflect the way Fred is building something with his audience in real time" Aaron tells LBB.

Explorers Club
A new chapter in our studio begins; Aaron Skipper joins as Co-Founder and Creative Director.
Aaron joins after time spent working on Nike at Wieden + Kennedy and Apple at TBWA\ Media Arts Lab.
Ayo and Aaron will lead the studios in London and Los Angeles.
Since meeting seven years ago, Ayo and Aaron have crafted visions for growth, bringing outsider thinking to brands to help them discover their edge.
Ayo says, ‘Aaron’s work has always captivated people, and reinvented companies. His joining is a big leap for Explorers Club — he brings a wealth of both brand experience and lived experience. We don’t just create work that works together—it’s work that doesn’t feel like work.’
Aaron talks, “Founding a studio is something that I’ve always wanted to do. Since meeting Ayo several years ago, he left an indelible mark on me as a creative and a friend. Our combined experience as outsiders and insiders will allow us to build brands and a studio, we can be proud of.”
