Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam has brought aboard the creative team of art director Victor Monclús and copywriter Will Lowe.
The duo’s career started at DBB London, where they gave life to award-winning work for Volkswagen, Marmite, the Financial Times, and Harvey Nichols, including the Cannes and D&AD awarded “Daylight Robbery” campaign.
In 2012, the pair of creatives left DDB to work for 180 Amsterdam, where they created campaigns for clients like Qatar Airways, PlayStation and Barber.
Now they have travelled up the Herengracht canal to join Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam.
