Ryan McManus

EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR – NATIVE

This is the man who can lead a horse to water AND make it drink. So far, amongst other things, Ryan has made 100 people walk 340 miles to earn a ticket to the MTV Awards. He has written and directed a documentary about rising seas in the South Pacific islands, projected graffiti all over Munich’s national monuments, created a water sustainability project that aims to redistribute water in a fairer way, sold boutique fashion items for organs, crashed the entire server of the Dutch Secret Service, made posters that save energy, published a book about a mushroom collector, started a new football team and made the coffee cup completely disappear.

He also directed music videos and commercials for Sony, BMW, TomTom and many more while inventing prototypes for the future of communication. He has worked and lived in London, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Munich, and his home, Cape Town and has palmed in various prestigious national and international awards and accolades.

This is Ryan. Now bow down and drink.
