Ogilvy & Mather London names ECD
Jules Chalkley moves from BMB to take up the newly created role.
Ogilvy & Mather London has hired Jules Chalkley to fill the newly created role of executive creative director.
Currently the chief creative officer of BMB, Chalkley has been overseeing the agency’s transition from a TV-led agency to multi-platform and PR-led campaigns and steered creative for clients including Samsung, LinkedIn, Rowse and Calm. He has also held senior positions at Engine, where he was the architect of the Cannes Lions-winning Missing Type campaign for the NHS Blood Service; and Y&R – where he worked alongside Mick Mahoney during his time as ECD at the agency.
With an integrated skillset that spans advertising, PR, social media, experiential and digital, Chalkley will be responsible for the day to day operation of the creative department where he will report into Ogilvy CCO Mick Mahoney, working across a client set that includes Boots, Vodafone, Bulmers and British Airways.
He joins a list of new faces in the O&M Creative department including previous Elle editor Lotte Jeffs, the agency’s first head of design, Dani Matthews, and creative directors Martha Riley and Joao Lineu.
“Following last year's new business success we have more creative opportunities than at any time in living memory," says CCO Mick Mahoney. "These are allowing us to attract the very best creative talent - and top of that list is Jules. His track record speaks for itself and, from working with him before, I know he will make an immediate impact in raising our creative standards across the board. I can't wait for him to start.”
