About

Wieden+Kennedy London is a creatively-driven communications agency, part of the independent network of nine W+K offices around the world. Driven to do the best work of our lives with inspiring clients, we’re proud to work with and help build great brands like Nike, Ford, and TK Maxx.

"When Dan and Dave founded Wieden+Kennedy on April 1, 1982, they set out with one goal in mind: to create a culture that inspires people to make the best work of their lives.

42 years later, we are the leading global independent agency and that culture thrives across our network; allowing us to produce provocative, culturally influential work.

We are proud to foster an environment where people and clients come to do their best work. Where different voices are seen, heard and amplified. Where those voices are able to use their creativity to make powerful work together. And ultimately, where we can create work that is recognized around the world for its excellence and effectiveness in moving our clients' businesses forward.

We remain fiercely independent. We will never be sold. We answer to our clients and not shareholders. Meaning we make decisions based on what’s best for our clients and our people. Our independence means we can work in lots of different ways - we can build around our clients rather than the other way round.

We’re a creative company, with purpose-built, specialist teams all under one roof, meaning we’re truly able to take a brand from inception to global explosion.

Wrack is a Creative Production Company housed within Wieden+Kennedy. With a team of in-house editors, motion designers and content creators we are equipped to bring to life creative briefs at a moment's notice, from social posts to more traditional AV films. As the in-agency production partner we offer unparalleled transparency and flexibility with our budgets. With less hands for the work to be passed through it allows them to work more efficiently and collaboratively.

Bodega is Wieden+Kennedy’s internal, social-first creative studio. Our team is made up of multifaceted people to respond to the speed of culture. Strategists, creatives, videographers, designers and community managers who are also Tik Tokers, gamers, musicians, writers and party promoters.

NOT Wieden+Kennedy is our specialist design arm. Based in London, our team is made up of people from the top branding and in-house design agencies, not just in the UK but from all over the world.
