The Gate Welcomes Hannah Bituin and Becky Reynolds as Creative Team

The Gate London has hired creative team Hannah Bituin and Becky Reynolds to work across their growing portfolio of clients. Ex-Ogilvy, Iris, and Virtue, they have worked on the Dove Self Esteem Project, tackled food waste with Hellmann’s and promoted sustainable fashion with Comfort. They worked for a variety of brands such as Unilever, Starbucks, Samsung, Diageo and many more. 

As a team, they love creating work that are firsts like Dove’s first-ever political work celebrating the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as well as Dove Deodorant’s first illustration campaign. In-between briefs they are pushing industry boundaries like the Big Taboo that ensures there is a real and fair representation of plus-size women in the industry as well as shining a light on the 200% increase of Asian Hate with a proactive social campaign. In her spare time, Hannah makes fashion inspiration TikTok's and is an active member within the East and South-East Asian community, while Becky is a YouTube influencer, creating content from fashion and beauty.

Lucas Peon, CCO of The Gate, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Hannah and Becky to the team. They are two outstanding creatives, hugely talented and ambitious, with a unique perspective. Their style and their incredible drive to generate great ideas is exciting. We can't wait to see their influence on our creative product and the impact they will have on our projects.”

Hannah and Becky said, “We have seen The Gate grow and win some incredible accounts over the past couple of years, such as their recent Less Malarkey, More Smarty campaign, and Nobody is Normal. Not only do they push the boundaries with their campaigns, but they also create beautifully insightful and meaningful work. On a personal level, Becky’s late grandmother took part in their Colourful Life project a few years ago, a personalised colouring book to help dementia patients relive treasured memories. We look forward to continuing the great creative work coming out of The Gate.”
