Up and coming creative team Fred Rodwell and Andrew Parsons join the agency from VCCP. The two met through the D&AD Talent Pool just under three years ago and got their first placement at VCCP shortly after. The duo is most proud of their “Morethan Freeman” campaign for UK insurance brand More Than, a gnarly idea which got them full-time jobs at VCCP and a high level of industry acclaim. 

 

Andrew Allen joins W+K Amsterdam as Digital Production Director. Andrew was most recently Executive Producer at interactive agency Rens, where he spearheaded the set-up of a new company branch in Amsterdam. Prior to that, he worked as an Interactive Producer at Droga5 New York, pushing out large-scale projects including the heavily awarded campaign "Decode Jay-Z".
