Adam Kahn (Kahncept)
I’m currently the Chief Creative Officer at Grey Midwest and an accomplished digital artist. For more than 15+ years i’ve been at the intersection of creativity and technology for some of the biggest brands. Recently spearheading creative development and strategy for McCormick Spices, utilizing AI and web3 technologies to create the House of Flavor in Decentraland. Proud to be recognized for creating the world’s first interactive super bowl commercial for P&G, made fashion out of social conversation with Verizon + Christian Siriano, and built a game with NASA to classify uncharacterized asteroids to help save the earth from mass extinction.
My diverse background has helped me navigate the ad industry with dimensionality, originality, and award-winning innovative work in Cannes, OneShow, Creativepool, Effies, Digiday, Webbys and more.
In addition, under the pseudonym Kahncept, I’m the creator of the sold-out Careless Bears NFT Collection, have been a guest artist on multiple blue chip NFT projects and have appeared in art shows from LA to NYC to Paris.
