TBWA\London Welcomes Senior Duo Mary Johansen and Kenny Meek

TBWA\London has appointed former House 337 creatives Mary Johansen and Kenny Meek as its newest senior creative team, bringing an important extra layer of experience, further creative excellence and a more diverse perspective. 

Mary and Kenny’s arrival underscores TBWA\London’s commitment to innovation and industry-leading creative work. They have been hired to bring a bold spirit, a craft-focused approach and further disruptive thinking, helping the agency reach new creative heights and develop even better work for its ever-growing client base. 

In their new roles, Mary and Kenny will work across key accounts, including McVitie’s and Starbucks, reporting directly to Paul Jordan, executive creative director and Andy Jex, chief creative officer. 

The married creative duo began their advertising journey at SCA (School of Communication Arts); they have also previously held positions at New Commercial Arts and TBWA\Media Arts Lab. Since then, they’ve built a career defined by craft, passion, and a drive to push creative boundaries. Their portfolio includes impactful campaigns for the Alzheimer’s Society, E.ON, and the Royal Navy.

Paul Jordan, executive creative director at TBWA\London, said, “We’re thrilled to welcome Mary and Kenny to TBWA\London. With backgrounds that bring a unique and innovative perspective to their work, shaped by lived experience, they can approach things differently, making them highly attuned to culture, accessibility, and storytelling in ways others might not be.” 

Mary and Kenny, senior creatives at TBWA\London, said, “When you start in advertising, you quickly learn about the agencies that have shaped the industry, and TBWA has an incredible legacy. It’s a privilege to be part of the collective. The work coming out of TBWA\London in recent years has been soaring in quality, and we’re excited to learn from the amazing talent here. Meeting Andy and Paul only reinforced everything we’d heard about the agency—ambitious, creatively driven, and full of brilliant people. It’s inspiring to join a team that constantly pushes the boundaries of creativity.”
