Wieden + Kennedy




Wieden + Kennedy is an agency in London which deal with a lot of ultra famous brands and it was good to have a look through their site which is packed full of their work. I find showing a large selection of your work on your site is important as it is the only way of people knowing what you are capable of. The site is a YouTube style site that looks modern and navigates simply but effectively.

This is what Wieden + Kennedy say about themselves.

Wieden+Kennedy is the world's only independent creatively-led global agency.

Our London office was founded in 1998 with just a handful of people. Now we have a family of around 150. Just check out the portrait wall in reception for proof of our talents. We have a range of clients and it's with these folks that we set out to create the best work of our lives.

Why?
The strongest brands represent a meaningful emotional relationship – they have fans not consumers. The most powerful brands are leaders, not followers – they reinvent themselves as fast, often faster, than their consumers. The most effective brands are provocative – they change people’s minds, they disrupt the market place, they change the consumer culture. And we’ve seen that brands like these deliver real business value.

How?
We never start off by trying to create advertising. Our fear is that, if we jump straight into ad-writing mode, then we’ll get advertising that looks like advertising. We want stuff that’s got a brand or product idea first, rather than an advertising idea. So the first task is to come up with the ideas, writing, images, quotes, clips from films, or whatever, that seems relevant to the brand. In other words, we start by developing a rich and nuanced understanding of a brand’s voice. This is not a linear process of defining strategy that informs the execution. This is a way of working and thinking where strategy dovetails with creative. Each inspires the other. Hopefully this results in fresher, truer work. It’s an organic, collaborative process and our clients have hands-on participation at every stage. With each new task, we find an extraordinary approach in order to achieve extraordinary results.
