About Create Not Hate
Create Not Hate is a new initiative set up by Quiet Storm, to enable inspiring role models from creative industries to mentor young people, directly or indirectly affected by gun and knife crime. Through this we hope young people will be empowered to channel their creative talents to help make their community safer from crime – and also potentially be inspired to choose a creative career in the future.
Trevor Robinson, head of leading London advertising agency and production company Quiet Storm, is creator of some of the most innovative adverts of our era (including the infamous Orange Tango Man). Before Robinson built himself a successful career in advertising, he grew up on the Notre Dame estate in Lambeth, near where teenager Billy Cox was shot dead last year.
“When I grew up in Lambeth there were no creative initiatives like this, so I simply wanted to do it. I hope we will be able to inspire young people to see what creative opportunities are out there, and to get their voices heard. Working with these young people has proven to me there is so much undiscovered raw talent out there – it’s very exciting”.
