A concept born over a few Friday night beers, Man Walks Into a Barber Shop was the love child of a handful of us creatives at LBi and the possibility of getting our Executive Creative Director, Simon Gill, to don a ridiculous beard for charity. Simon, who was already doing a trek through the Yorkshire Dales for charity, gave us cart blanche in creating beard concepts and agreed to wear whatever the public-voting site decided he should wear. And the winner? a very stunning ‘Northern Monkey’, and for anyone who’s ever met him, this seems quite fitting.
