JWT Launches Beauty and Luxury Agency MiNY

J. Walter Thompson has officially launched MiNY, an all-inclusive advertising agency that specialises in beauty, fashion, luxury and lifestyle brands.

 

MiNY is a small but mighty agency built for today’s world. Their nimble approach, paired with a made-in-New-York mentality and access to the JWT network allows them to work flexibly, fearlessly and quickly to make big ideas happen. And they do so by bringing in beauty bosses, fashion gurus, experts in luxury and the authorities in lifestyle for each unique client initiative. “We believe every brand has the chance to do something mighty,” said MiNY CEO Ignasi Puig. “Our mission is to help clients find the spark that ignites change and inspires innovative ideas. MiNY functions like a small and nimble startup but at the same time is able to tap into the data, research, digital and talent resources of the global JWT network.”

 

Their collection of award-winning creative minds offers clients a wide range of services: from helping brands position themselves in the beauty and luxury worlds, to uncovering creative solutions from fact-based data, to flawlessly executing creative campaigns. Creativity is at the centre of everything they do, and their agency model means less red tape and more agility on the way to getting things done. Their goal is to preserve the integrity of an idea, and they believe the best way to do that is to simplify the process, requiring fewer meetings and levels of approval and more straight-up creating. It’s that fast- paced, New York work ethic that allows members of the MiNY team to do just that, working to uncover cultural, human and brand truths and bring big ideas to life.

 

“We wanted to create a boutique agency within JWT, that answered the needs from beauty, luxury and lifestyle brands for a quick and nimble process. We also curate and hand pick the best talent from each sector to ensure that the clients have award winning creative experts in their field,” said Zahida Subrananian, Partner, MiNY.

 

MiNY has already worked with Guess, Coty and Community Foundation Sonoma County to create authentic and relatable brand platforms, global “digital first” ideas for new product launches and impactful nonprofit campaigns that made a difference both for their client and the world.

The new agency will further strengthen JWT’s advertising capabilities across North America and around the globe. MiNY will be JWT’s beauty, fashion, luxury and lifestyle arm, enhancing its ability to help brands in these spaces recognise their visions and craft innovative brand platforms. This launch continues JWT’s strategy of reimagining the future for its clients’ brands.

“MiNY can avail themselves to JWT’s 200 offices and worldwide talent, so we can combine forces and offer our beauty and luxury clients unique solutions at a faster pace. Together, we can help our clients think smarter, braver and bolder, and expertly craft campaigns that will effectively turn our brands into icons. It’s a win-win for us and our clients” said Tamara Ingram, Global CEO at J. Walter Thompson.
