yet more new creative hires
Oli Beale and Alex Houlder join Wieden + Kennedy London from WCRS. They were placed in Campaign magazine’s ‘Top 10 Young
Creatives’ list in 2006 and were ‘Faces to Watch’ in 2007. They have created award-winning
campaigns for clients including Brylcreem, Samaritans, The Navy, BMW and
Playstation.
>Oli Beale says, ‘W&K seem like a bunch of seriously nice people
doing lots of seriously interesting things and we're seriously excited about
getting involved.’
Duncan
Bone
is another creative hire whose talent spans many platforms.
His work includes interactive design, motion graphics,
photography and film. He has worked on varied projects ranging from a Vodka
brand launch at the Cannes Film Festival to a feature film shot in Cuba,
directed by Lucy Mulloy. He also worked with leading fashion photographers John
Lindquist and Can Evgin on two fashion films.
Paul
Skinner is an interaction designer and creative technologist who worked on
brands such as Shell, Marks &
Spencer and the Eden Project while at Digit.
He now works across
all clients at Wieden + Kennedy, helping to engage brands with technologies new
and old in meaningful ways. In his own words, ‘Sometimes a new technology will
inform an idea, and sometimes it’s a case of “How the hell do we do that!?” From there we can then prototype,
on-screen or with sensors and electronics’.
Scott
Dungate is a senior
creative, originally hailing from Australia, but with experience in Asian
markets, such as China, where he joined the W+K family, working on Nike.
Scott moved
to the UK a year ago and now heads up creative on Nokia mobile computing,
having worked freelance on the business since his arrival at W+K London. Scott
says, 'I might be a little biased, but I think Nokia, with its business
grounded in such an interesting and exciting business sector, holds the most
creative potential in the agency.'
