“During this time he has made a huge contribution to the success and creative profile of Channel 4 online. His commissions include seminal multiplatform projects such as Embarrassing Bodies, Big Fish Fight and Don’t Stop the Music to the first wave of Original All 4 Shorts including Tattoo Twists, Drones in Forbidden Zones and The Black Lesbian Handbook. I’ll miss him and wish him all the very best.”

You've been the channel to Channel 4 for people interested in media and innovation. Your generosity of time, ideas and resources has been much appreciated. New channels to be dug!
Wow best of luck Adam. It was back in 2005 when you got me on board to help with Famelab! You gave me the chance to work on loads of great projects many of which were multi platform pioneers so thanks for the opportunities and hope our paths cross again in the future.
It was always a pleasure to work with you on projects and to reiterate what others have said above, thanks for having faith in us.
Wow Adam! You've been such an inspiring person to work with. I really admire how much you're always changing the world using digital.
Dear Adam, Thank you for everything. Working for 4oD was my first experience of working in the UK and it wouldn’t have happened if there wasn’t someone like you to have faith and complete trust in the project and to be so enthusiastic about encouraging young voices worldwide. You are one of the best professionals I know and I feel each country should have its own Adam Gee in order to constantly spot new talents, create fresh and innovative cinematic concepts. I am honored and grateful I had the chance to learn from the best. Good luck in everything, I have my whole faith in what you’re up to!
Very best Adam. You were always very generous in using the great channel 4 brand to help others. I'm one of many who greatly appreciated your guidance and support.
Congrats and looking forward to seeing what's next. An amazing body of work there Adam
You've been a great visionary for the past 13 years Adam, and have a wonderful portfolio of work behind you that would make anyone proud.
I've bloody loved working with you Adam, I'm gutted. You have my sincere gratitude for all your support and best wishes for the next step on your journey - one which I hope will see us team up again.
I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for wherever you pop up; at the top, no doubt. Best of luck and thank you Adam for being so truly inspiring. Visionary is the right word. You valued my opinion from day one as if we were equals and were so much fun to work with. They won't know what they had 'til it's gone Xxx
Good luck Adam, what you've done there has been amazing, and I'm really glad to have got to work and generally enthuse together recently. Looking forward to your next steps mister.
Adam, you've done amazing, inspiring work - but I'm sure there's loads more yet to come. Thanks for being so brilliant to work with. Here's to the next chapter!
You've done great things during times of amazing change. Well done, and looking forward to seeing what's next.
Congrats and Bon voyage. You've done amazing things there. Sure you've got loads more to come! M
That's big news, Adam! Massive loss for C4. The very best of luck with your next adventure - I know it'll be amazing
Thanks for all the support Adam, it's been fun!!!!! See you soon x
Adam, it was amazing working our project with you. So creative!
Thanks for all the fish! X (love the work we did together)
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you Adam!
Good luck Adam, I always loved getting involved in one of your new projects. I think you became a genre.
Fantastic! You put in a very good shift, and did so much ground-breaking work. Time to break ground elsewhere now! Congratulations!
Good luck with whatever comes next - I hope it'll be as visionary as the last 13 years!
C4 have lost a creative genius but no doubt whatever you touch next will turn into gold too. And let's not forget you and the team winning award after award year after year! That was by far my favourite team to be a part of and I feel touched to have been a part of it at its prime.
Wow...end of an era. So excited to see what next. You are forever one to watch...and learn from.
Congratulations on your outstanding career at 4 Adam. You broke the mould in so many ways and exuded passion , intelligence and great humanity along the way. Respect.
Big news! Good luck with whatever's next - it's been a complete pleasure.
It's been an absolute pleasure, good luck for the next adventure
Best of luck! If the next chapter is even half as good as the Channel 4 years it's going to be awesome
Massive news. Very best to you Adam. Many congrats all you achieved at c4.
But you ARE Chanel 4!
wow, I can't imagine the place without you! You're a c4 legend
A huge loss for them, good luck
C4 will be a duller and more pedestrian place without you x
It's been a pleasure Adam. C4 are losing a real visionary
We'll miss you for sure, Adam. Considered a career as architecture critic?
Good luck. Spread the vision wider!
What comments! All merited. That was one hell of an innings.
JL: I just wanted to say many thanks for all your support over the years. When I think about it - from Osama Bin Everywhere to DSTM you have always been there during some of my biggest highs and lowest lows but always supportive and on my side. I very much appreciate it. Big respect.
JH: Thank you for doing the successful part of Don't Stop the Music! And for everything else.
Caroline Diehl What a great impact you've had. Hope you are super-proud.
Serena Lloyd-Smith Out of the many years I was at C4, I spent some of the best moments working with and for these two creative geniuses. I owe a lot of what I know and what I will become to them and that (award-winning) team
You are brilliant amazing thinkers and creators. Very excited for you. You will be amazing. (I know cause I've worked with you).

End of an era! Glad I had the chance to work with you in the hey day!
you've always been an inspiration.
You have been (and are) an inspiration across the pond for years!
Creative Geenius fly on ... All T Best from Mancunia .. Xxx
Foolish C4...All the best in greener pastures!
You rock Mr Adam Gee you have always been at the forefront of this multiplatform stuff and I am so excited to see what's next!
There was always something incredibly inspiring and comforting knowing that Channel 4 had someone as brilliant as you working away inside. I am a huge admirer of your work and treasure our conversations. Long may they continue.
All bureaucracies resent the talent because the latter take risks and may rock their boat. But minus the talent there is no new business. Watch them worry. Don't imagine anything except how you decided to take your success elsewhere.
Adam you were my first smile emoticon So many shared conversations and words of wisdom I took from our time.
Adam You did some great stuff. Enjoyed working with you. at Ch4 on our creative project. Did a lot for diversity in the sector.
Hear, hear!
HW: Adam I just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing content you've brought to life over your 13 years. To my mind you set the gold standard for what public service broadcasting should be. I have always admired your work hugely.
Channel 4 will be significantly poorer for your absence, so will the millions of its viewers/consumers.
HJ: You have been an immense champion of C4’s remit and values over the years and delivered many incredible projects that my team and I have often championed to others - so thank you for all you have done to help preserve C4’s reputation amongst the great and the good.
Nick Underhill: Thanks for all the Fish Fighting Adam! Always a pleasure working with you
SJ: I've always been so blown away by your stellar work
MR: thank your for your support and tolerance!
PD: I am very sorry that you are leaving 4
