Faustin Claverie and Thierry Albert: take up roles at W&K Amsterdam

Albert and Claverie joined VCCP in February, a year after joining forces at Mother.

At the former they helped win the Macmillan cancer nurse and McLaren Automotive accounts and created the recent O2 Priority Sports campaign.

At Mother they wrote the four-minute "pouring ritual" film for Stella Artois and helped the agency win the HTC advertising business across Europe at the end of last year.

Mark Bernath and Eric Quennoy, executive creative directors at Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam, said: "Thierry and Faustin come to us with a great, very versatile body of work across a range of big, global brands.

"We think they’re the perfect cultural fit for this place, and we’re super happy that they’ve decided to join in on the fun."
