Meet Arthur Morey

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Arthur Morey. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Arthur below.

Hi Arthur, so excited to talk about all sorts of important topics with you today. The first one we want to jump into is about being the only one in the room – for some that’s being the only person of color or the only non-native English speaker or the only non-MBA, etc Can you talk to us about how you have managed to be successful even when you were the only one in the room that looked like you?

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve often been the only one in the room who didn’t follow the classic path. I left university at 20 to explore, learn by doing, and figure out what I truly wanted. Later, I returned to school, but on my own terms. I built a curriculum that took me across Lille, Paris, Copenhagen, and New York. At times, I was the only one with a background in audiovisual. Other times, I was the only student with an international background. And often, I was the youngest freelancer in the room pitching bold ideas to clients.

What I’ve learned is this: when you don’t fit the mold, your difference becomes your power, if you own it. I stopped trying to copy the rules, and started creating my own. That mindset helped me launch my agency, COM&A, where I bring emotion and strategy together to help brands stand out, just like I had to.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

My name is Arthur Morey. I’m a freelance creative thinker, passionate about crafting campaigns and content that make people feel.
I founded COM&A, a creative agency, with a simple mission: to design emotionally driven content that helps brands connect with their audience, deeply and meaningfully. What started as a side project became a way for me to express myself through content, design, video, and strategy.
What makes COM&A special is its ability to merge intuition and structure, emotion and clarity. I don’t just produce content and strategies : I build narratives, atmospheres, and intentions. Whether it’s a campaign for a fashion brand, a video for a cultural event, or a full visual identity, I aim to design moments that resonate.
I come from a non-traditional path. I left university early to gain real-world experience, and then returned to school on my own terms. Today, I hold a degree in audiovisual production, I specialized in creative branding and design in Copenhagen, and I’m completing a dual Master’s in Advertising & Marketing between Paris and New York. Each step taught me to trust my instincts, embrace bold ideas, and bring a multicultural perspective into my creative work.
What I’m most excited about right now is my move to New York City. I’m currently looking to collaborate with bold creative agencies, while continuing to grow my creative universe and my creative skills.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I think if I had to name three things that really shaped my journey, they would be: adaptability, emotional sensitivity, and self-direction.

Adaptability, first, because my path hasn’t been linear, and I’ve learned to embrace that. I’ve studied and worked in France, Denmark, and the U.S., shifting from audiovisual production to digital marketing to creative strategy. Every environment had different expectations, rhythms, and creative cultures. Learning how to stay grounded while adapting to new contexts has helped me stay sharp and curious.
My advice? Let change stretch you. Being adaptable doesn’t mean losing your identity, it means learning how to evolve without erasing who you are.

The second is emotional sensitivity. It’s a skill we don’t talk enough about in creative industries, but for me it’s at the core of everything I do. Whether I’m building a campaign, designing a visual, or shooting a video, I always ask: What do I want people to feel? That’s what makes content stick, not just how it looks, but what it says emotionally.
 For anyone starting out, I’d say: observe everything. Feel everything. Great creative work often comes from how deeply you pay attention.

And finally, self-direction. I left university early because I didn’t feel aligned with the path I was on. That year off taught me more than I could have imagined, because I had to figure things out myself. Since then, I’ve always built my own direction: launching my creative activity, COM&A, finding my voice, curating my own learning. 
If you’re just beginning, trust that you don’t have to wait to be picked. Start. Test. Create. Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s to be valid or valuable.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Absolutely. I’m currently looking for a full-time opportunity within a creative agency in New York, ideally in junior art direction for advertising or branded content.

I’d love to collaborate with teams that value bold thinking, aesthetic sensitivity, and emotionally driven campaigns. Environments where creativity isn’t just about visuals, but about connection, and where young creatives are encouraged to push ideas further.

I’m also always open to connecting with other designers, filmmakers, and creatives who believe in storytelling that resonates and branding that moves people.
