London-based advertising agency W+K appoints Ryan Fisher as Managing Director, replacing Helen Andrews in the role.
After over four years at the helm, Helen Andrews is set to depart from her role as Managing Director of Wieden+Kennedy's London office. Andrews, who joined the agency 14 years ago, has made significant contributions to the company, running and growing accounts such as Arla and Lurpak.
During her tenure, Andrews led many of the agency's biggest pitches, including its successful win of Sainsbury's in 2016. Her departure marks the end of an era, but the agency is ready for a new beginning.
Ryan Fisher, who initially joined Wieden+Kennedy's London office in 2007, is set to take over as Managing Director in February. Fisher previously held the role of Managing Director at W+K Tokyo and has returned to the London office management team in 2020.
Fisher's tenure at W+K spans over a decade, and his extensive experience within the agency makes him an excellent choice for the role. The transition from Andrews to Fisher is expected to be smooth, with Fisher poised to continue the agency's success.
While the background of Andrews is not explicitly detailed in the available data, the incoming Managing Director, Clare, has a strong tie and experience within W+K's European offices. Clare spent ten years at Wieden+Kennedy in Amsterdam and London before becoming Managing Director of HERC Amsterdam and later joining Leo Burnett Australia. Clare is set to take over as Managing Director of Wieden+Kennedy's London office in 2025.
Wieden+Kennedy is excited about the future and looks forward to the continued success under the leadership of Ryan Fisher and Clare. The agency is committed to delivering innovative and creative solutions for its clients, and with these new leaders at the helm, it is well-positioned to do just that.
