Agency The&Partnership has bolstered its creative department with three new creative duo’s and a senior creative; bringing experienced creatives and emerging talent together to raise the creative ambition across the client base and support the agency’s rapid expansion over the last two years. The new hires will report directly to Executive Creative Director, Toby Allen.
Mikael Alcock, Senior Creative based in London, joins The & Partnership from VMLY&R, where since the start of the pandemic, has immersed himself in the digital world, tackling media-agnostic briefs. Having previously spent six years at BBH, honing his craft across multiple disciplines, Alcock brings with him over forty international awards including Cannes Lions gold in film, an IPA Effectiveness Grand Prix, six Lions and six D&AD pencils.
The&Partnership signals new creative team Osagie Samuel and Gareth C E’s, first placement in advertising since first meeting at the School of Communication Arts 2.0 in 2021. Having transitioned into advertising less than a year ago, with diverse backgrounds in video editing, directing and event production, Samuel and Gareth have already received industry recognition, winning black, yellow and white D&AD pencils, at D&AD’s New Blood Awards 2021.
Eszter Boldov and Armna Khan join the agency as an emerging creative team. They met studying BA Advertising at the London College of Communication. Since graduating in 2020, they have taken on creative placements across ad land, both in London and Lahore, Pakistan. They’ve won several awards along the way including The Drum Chip Shop Award in 2020 and Creative Conscience Award in 2021.
Working together for nearly ten years, Ryan Delaney and Emma Thomas are an established creative team, who have won Best Newcomers at CreativePool alongside accolades at Cannes Lions and Creative Circle. Having worked at Fallon, Grey and Above & Beyond, they have pioneered work including the Driven By Something Different brand platform for Skoda, and Life Is This Very Moment for Very.co.uk. Mentoring new and emerging talent is fundamental to their approach and philosophy as a creative team, having led placements and hired and mentored young teams at Grey London.
Executive Creative Director Toby Allen says: "Entrepreneurial creativity is what sets The&Partnership apart, and we now have a new breed of creators to deliver it. Whip-smart, self-starting, diverse in thought, background and experience, and all of them with real strength of character. I’m delighted they chose to fly with us, and I’m excited to see them soar."
