Nate Woodhead, MD and creative partner at Virtue Worldwide, commented, ‘We are delighted to have Tim and Jeanne join us – they have a phenomenal portfolio of work rooted in interesting and fresh ideas that shed new light on categories people think they know well. We’re super excited by their creative concepts which are ingrained in smart cultural insights, and play in spaces that real people are really interested in. This is exactly what we at Virtue believe in, and why we think they are the perfect team for Virtue.”

Tim and Jeanne said of their appointment, “To us advertising either has to be fun, weird, cool, outstanding or, when possible, all four at the same time. But it isn’t easy to live by these rules in this industry. Not many agencies have them in their DNA but Virtue does; and it’s exciting to be expected to come up with new alternative ideas. We want to make people care about what we do and it feels like we are at the right place.”
