As David&Goliath (D&G) celebrates 25 years, the agency is bringing on new creative leadership to help shape its future. Britt Wilen joins as group creative director, bringing her knack for big ideas, executional craft and a track record of work that resonates. In her new role, Wilen will partner closely with clients, diving deep into their challenges to develop work that’s bold, transformative, with high-impact solutions and cultural relevance.
David Angelo, D&G founder and creative chairman, said of Wilen, “She’s a true creative force–a Swiss Army knife of innovation–with an energy that’s as contagious as it is inspiring. We are looking forward to her creative leadership for one of our longest-standing clients, California Lottery, as well as the impact she’ll bring to our ‘Brave’ culture.”
Wilen stated, “Creativity is at its best when it surprises people, makes them feel something, or gives them a new way to see the world. That’s what I love about this industry, and that’s what drew me to D&G. They have a fearless approach to ideas and a culture that thrives on collaboration, and I’m so excited to be part of it.”
Wilen’s most recent staff position prior to joining D&G was serving as a global creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi where she led major campaigns for Toyota’s Olympic and Paralympic sponsorship, Expedia and Lexus. Before that, she held senior creative roles at BBDO Worldwide and Leo Burnett, helping shape iconic work for brands like Doritos, Ikea, Mars, and more.
Her work has been recognized with top industry honors, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, The One Show, Clio Awards, and Effies. In addition to her impressive professional career, Wilen boasts a rich and diverse educational background, with degrees and certifications in film studies, directing & editing, creative copywriting, photographic image arts, and improvisation, all complemented by her passion for music and film. When she’s not innovating in the creative world, Wilen is writing songs, playing piano, drums, and guitar.
