W+K was not created to be a professional ad agency.

Dan Wieden and David Kennedy created this place for people to come and be creative.

And make the best work they could dream up.

And be given the opportunity to put their POV into ideas that would be seen around the world.

In our 40th year as an agency, we’ve grown the business, impacted culture and given people a platform, staying true to the fundamentals that gave us our start. 

Today we set out to bring ideas to life that transform brands and dent culture. To help brands, and people, find their own voice. 

Our business is built on creative ideas that scale globally, inventing different ways to bring brands into people’s lives so that they don’t feel like ads.

And we think we do it pretty damn well for a company the size of a US high school without massive global infrastructure. Take a look. We hope you agree.
