Group Creative Directors at Johannes Leonardo, currently leading creative across Instagram, several of the agency’s notable Kraft Heinz brands, and new business.
Having joined the company in 2015, they helped win the Sonnet business before going on to create a wide body of work for adidas Originals, including one of the most awarded campaigns of 2017: adidas Originals’ “Original is never finished,” award-winning partnerships with Prada and Alexander Wang, and more.
The pair have continued leading category-breaking work for the agency, establishing and launching Instagram’s “Yours to make” brand platform and launch campaign in 2021, Oscar Mayer’s internet-breaking stunts such as the Bologna Meat Mask, Velveeta’s renaissance, and more, while picking up key wins for the agency along the way.
They are also married, which is largely a point of confusion for most people.
