We've had no less than seven new starters in the last few weeks. It feels like they've been coming in by the coach load! The agency is full of life, Thursday nights at the Golden Heart are (once again) heaving with W+Kers and the sun is shining. Good times. 

So, in no particular order, please welcome…

Toby Moore + Selena McKenzie

They join us as Creative Directors from W+K Amsterdam. However, they are no strangers to the London Office; they worked here for a few months on Nokia and loved it so much they have returned for good. We didn’t have the heart to tell them that we parted ways with Nokia two years ago.

Luckily we now have Tesco. It’s taken three months to get Toby and Selena here, but finally they’re legal.

Andrew Kay

Andy is also formerly of this parish and has been tempted back from W+K Amsterdam to be a GAD here in London again.

Andy has been with Wieden's for donkeys' years – putting in some time here in London before
heading to Amsterdam in 2008 to work on Coke and Powerade amongst other things. He is now back and getting stuck in on Fuze and Stride.

David Mannall

Joins us as a GAD, running Tesco Bank and helping Bestie out on a few other Tesco bits and pieces. Prior to WK, Dave worked at Dare on Gocompare, Tetley and Virgin Holidays. And before that worked on BBC, Eurostar and Cadbury.

Samantha Bloch

Sam had been freelancing as an Account Manager and was doing such a great job that we managed to convince her to stay full time. She's currently working on Orange and Honda. Before WK, she worked at Dre Beats and Fallon after starting her career client side.

Matthew Ellingham

Matt is another WK Freelancer that we managed to make a permanent member of the team. We have lured him away from the likes of Fallon, Anomaly and Mother to make him the 'only other male TV Producer in the village'.

Amy Leach

Amy joins us in Creative Services as a Project Manager. She has spent the last four years at Karmarama and is working on Lurpak UK, and a few other projects in the pipeline.

John Cherry

We also welcomed John back to the W+K creative department. John's first stint here was back in 2003, when he created the Honda IMA 'Sense' spot and more importantly the world famous 'Dan Wieden musical ruler', http://www.suck.uk.com/products/musicalruler/. Rumour has it he retired for a while on the back of the royalties, but got bored after few years in the Cayman Islands, so resumed his advertising career at Mother and then Fallon.

We're super-pleased that they are all here and settling brilliantly into the world of W+K optimism.
