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.

We produce provocative, culturally influential work – reflected in our inclusion in Fast Company’s Most Innovative Company in Marketing and Advertising for the past six years.

We also work hard to create an environment that encourages and supports people of all kinds to do their best and are proud to be named in The Sunday Times’ Best 100 Small Companies to Work For, the UK’s only creative agency to make the list.

W+K London also includes NOT Wieden+Kennedy, our in-house standalone design studio.

And Bodega, our culture-obsessed social-first creative studio.

Culture

Our halls are filled with people who have a POV and are empowered to share it every single day.

Wieden+Kennedy is a place where people from all walks of life come together to find their voice and use it to make great work.

“There are many, many undiscovered voices out there —
voices that against all odds can rise up and enrich
this culture” — Dan Wieden

At W+K, we’re focused on five main areas of impact:
Education
Talent
Supplier Diversity
Partners
Giving Our People A Platform

Initiatives and training range from mandatory racial Courageous Conversations training for all employees; production commitments inc Free the Work, Just Runners, Illuminatrix Drops, and Unsigned Union; formalising affinity groups; partnering with the Creative Mentor Network; ensuring DE&I is a key part of managers appraisals, and much much more. All our initiatives helped increase the percentage of BIPOC employees from 17.7% to 36% as of Q1 March 2023.

We are very committed to diversity and inclusion.


Ambition

Our mission is to:

1. Make work that makes a dent in culture
2. Make work that changes the fortunes of the brands we work with
3. Make work that makes us PROUD.

WE WANT TO USE OUR CREATIVITY & OUR INFLUENCE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
