Craig Love and Shayne Millington, a creative duo at Wieden+Kennedy, have come aboard JWT New York as creative directors on the Macy’s and Bloomberg accounts, respectively. At W+K, Love was a senior copywriter and Millington a senior art director since 2008, partnering on notable campaigns for Target, Nike and Coke.
Love and Millington represent the first new creative hires of Peter Nicholson since he became JWT New York’s chief creative officer in January.
“This duo has been producing stellar work for more than a decade,” said Nicholson. “Their creative skills are indicative of the type of talent I am looking to bring to JWT. They have a strong body of work and I look forward to what they will achieve at JWT.”
Among Love and Millington’s collaborations at W+K was Target’s “Collection” campaign, which includes “The Great Thermostat War,” “We Only Met Two Days Ago” and “The Mysterious Car Odor” collections. Spots were directed by The Perlorian Brothers from production house Furlined.
Prior to joining W+K, Love and Millington spent five years at Saatchi & Saatchi New York, where they created Wheaties’ “Muscle Bag” and JCPenney’s “Back to School” campaign. Love and Millington also collaborated on creative for Cold Stone Creamery, Honey Nut Cheerios, Olay, and “I Love New York” New York State Tourism.
