Anomaly has hired Jeff Stamp as managing partner and chief creative officer at its New York office.
Stamp joins Anomaly from TikTok, where he held the position of head of brand and creative. Prior to this he served as the VP of creative at Peloton. During his tenure on the brand side for both tech giants, Stamp restructured the in-house creative models, helped architect the brands’ evolving positioning strategies, optimized design principles, managed partner agency relations, and led the development of all brand campaigns, new product and innovation launches as well as in app and partnership marketing.
Previously, Stamp held leadership roles at Grey Group, Possible and Campfire, where he led global brands such as Gillette, the NFL, Bose, Ketel One, Febreze and more. He got his start in production at Hungry Man Films and was repped by CAA Branded Entertainment.
In his new role at Anomaly, Stamp will lead the agency in its pursuit of delivering groundbreaking creativity. His remit includes overseeing creative output across the New York office’s full client roster, ranging from Ally Financial to Diageo to TopGolf and Google.
“Every meeting with Jeff was me taking notes and storing little particles of magic,” said Mike Byrne, founding partner and global CCO at Anomaly. “All you want in your creative life is to be surrounded by positive energy that forces those heart-pounding creative collisions. People who make you see the tire as a swing. And he’s kind and curious. My two favorite values.”
Whether as a global creative leader, agency chief, or tech-side expert, Stamp has led some of the world’s most recognizable brands from every side of the business, creating award-winning work of all shapes and sizes. His efforts have yielded honors for brands and agencies including Forbes’ 2021 Most Relevant Brands in the World and Business Insider’s Best Ads of the Decade, as well as recognition from every major global advertising awards show, including Cannes Lions.
“At Anomaly, we talk a lot about embracing the broadest definition of creativity. In Jeff, we’ve found a creative leader who embodies so much of what we believe brands need to succeed in modern marketing,” said Franke Rodriguez, partner and CEO, New York and Toronto at Anomaly. “And don’t be fooled by his title. Jeff’s not just a creative; he’s a storyteller, content creator, producer, strategist, tech head, and social media junkie who gets as excited about digital transformation, social media innovations, and new product development as Super Bowl campaigns. Basically, his whole career journey has been an anomaly.”
Stamp said, “At every stop in my career, Anomaly has always been different. What the founders have created is more than a company, it’s an idea, and an idea outlasts everything. I’m beyond excited and humbled to join this remarkable legacy and team to help redefine what it truly means to be an anomaly today.”
