Can new Adidas agency TBWA compete with world champs Nike and W+K at Brazil 2014?

Can new Adidas agency TBWA compete with world champs Nike and W+K at Brazil 2014?

By Stephen Foster on May 10, 2012

And we shouldn’t ignore digital giant AKQA either, which shares Nike creative duties with Wieden+Kennedy. A few weeks ago we suggested that Adidas, a tier one World Cup sponsor, was looking for an agency “to kill Nike,” which regularly disrupts Adidas’s expensive relationship with both the World Cup and the Olympics through its artful deployment [...]

There must have been something in the water back in 1982 - Wieden+Kennedy and BBH both turn 30

There must have been something in the water back in 1982 – Wieden+Kennedy and BBH both turn 30

By Stephen Foster on April 10, 2012

So what was so special about 1982, the year Wieden+Kennedy opened its doors in Portland, Oregon and messrs Bartle, Bogle and Hegarty departed TBWA in London to start BBH? Actually it wasn’t so different to what we have now: then a stuttering Western economy still struggling to recover from the massive and inflationary oil price [...]

W+K London provides a taster of its plans for Three

W+K London provides a taster of its plans for Three

By Stephen Foster on October 24, 2011

It’s about time the UK produced a decent mobile network campaign, too often the answer has been chucking loadsamoney at an idea that’s stale before it’s time (yes, Vodafone). T-Mobile (now part of Everything Everywhere with Orange) has produced some decent individual ads, most notably its Royal Wedding number, directed by Chris Palmer for Saatchi [...]

Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam launches The Dam Armada apps business

By Angie Dean on October 3, 2011

Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam is launching The Dam Armada, a business unit of creative developers and designers set up to create digital products from apps to installations. The Dam Armada is the brainchild of Jordi Martinez who worked at Crispin Porter+Bogusky and DoubleYou before joining W+K Amsterdam. Martinez says “The Dam Armada is an opportunity to surprise [...]

Heineken and W+K up the creative stakes in new 'oldies' Champions League ad blitz

Heineken and W+K up the creative stakes in new ‘oldies’ Champions League ad blitz

By Stephen Foster on September 14, 2011

Actually Heineken’s new campaign promoting its sponsorship of the UEFA Champions League is called ‘Legendary Football’ but it’s a pretty neat way of showcasing the talents of footballers Gianluigi Buffon, Rene Adler, Patrick Vieira, Clarence Seedorf and Ruud Van Nistelrooy, some of whom are past their best and at least one, Viera, who has retired. [...]

Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam raids San Francisco for yet more star creatives

By Stephen Foster on April 7, 2011

Well it can’t just be winning Levi’s globally can it? Only a month or two ago W+K Amsterdam, which seems to be more important than London in Dan Wieden’s world view, hired a whole gaggle of senior creatives headed by Rosie Bardales (pictured) from BBH London. Now it’s it’s just hired West Coast types Adrien [...]

Jeff Kling departure from W+K illustrates new poser for agencies

Jeff Kling departure from W+K illustrates new poser for agencies

By Angie Dean on August 31, 2010

Star creative directors have always wanted to try their hands outside the comfort zone of ad agencies so Jeff Kling’s departure as european creative director at W+K Amsterdam (Wieden & Kennedy to most of us) should be no surprise. In a way it echoes the departure of Alex Bogusky from Crispin Porter + Bogusky earlier [...]
