John O'Keeffe
- Member since 1996
I joined WPP on September 1st as Worldwide Creative Director.
My role will involve working with, hopefully, as many people as possible, across agencies, disciplines, and clients, to help raise creative standards. So it's a role I share with everyone in every WPP company.
I began my career at Saatchi & Saatchi but, in 1990, moved to BBH, where I remained for eighteen years, the last eight of which as Executive Creative Director. I worked on many pitches, including Johnnie Walker and Barclays, both subsequent Cannes Gold Winners, and led the global Persil/OMO pitch team - BBHs biggest ever win.
The agency garnered 14 Agency of the Year titles from various bodies in my time as ECD but, I hasten to add, as with all such things, it was a team effort.
I believe I have now joined the world's biggest winning team and am very much looking forward to the challenge ahead.PS. Married to Jane. Two kids. Arsenal fan.
