Anomaly, with operations in New York and London, has extended its global reach, opening in Amsterdam. Hazelle Klonhammer, who assumes the post of managing director, will head up the Amsterdam office. She spent over a decade in Amsterdam at Wieden + Kennedy driving global brands including Microsoft, Nike, Heineken, Carlsberg, Electronic Arts, Vodafone and P&G.
During her tenure at Wieden + Kennedy, Klonhammer won the first digital client for the network and was instrumental in setting up its digital offering. Before joining forces with Anomaly, she was managing director of Grey Amsterdam.
Anomaly founding partner/CEO Carl Johnson stated, “We continue to hear the calls for change, that the conventional models are broken and traditional solutions are becoming less and less effective. Amsterdam is a renowned hub for world-class talent and will provide a terrific base for us to partner with ambitious domestic and European clients alike. We’re excited to have Haze at the helm and look forward to building an eclectic team of talent around her. One of my partners here in New York–Richard Mulder–was born and raised in Amsterdam and will take a special interest in the office.”
Mulder spent 11 years at Nike managing brand communications in Europe, the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region based in the Dutch capital and Portland, Ore. Amongst other notable creative work Mulder invented the yellow LiveStrong bracelet for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
