Second Graduating Class of The Kennedys

In June 2012, Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam again selected 6 young creatives to take part in the agency’s six-month apprenticeship program, The Kennedys.

 

Thomas Payne: A graphic designer from London into type, layout and identities.

Ben Sandler: An Israeli-American image-maker and producer, hailing from Paris.

Cara To: Belgian/HongKong 3D artist/illustrator, whose goal is to make visuals you haven't seen before.

Ella de Weijer and Jess Hall: A creative team best described as ‘idea generators’, who have travelled extensively, working in NY and London.

Jordi Luna: A jack-of-all-trades, a creative art director who loves utopian ideas.

 

What started as a creative experiment in 2011 now sees the Kennedys operating as an autonomous advertising agency within W+K Amsterdam. The Kennedys Year II have created and produced real work for both local and global clients such as Nike Tennis, Nuit Blanche, Geomag, Miioon, Too-Short and Dream Amsterdam, as well as the agency’s Christmas card, the infamous Mother Bucker challenge...
