Kate Howe, regional president of Draftfcb Europe and president Draftfcb London, has announced today the appointment of Mulenga Agley as head of digital delivery, effective immediately.
Agley has held various roles at Wunderman, glue Isobar and most recently AKQA and has worked on brands such as Nissan, Natwest/RBS, Dulux, Hammerite, Kelloggs, Ford, Microsoft, Volvo and Nokia. Campaigns he has helped to create have gone on to win multiple awards such as Creative Circle, the Marketing Society and the British Television Advertising Awards. The new role marks a return to the agency for Agley, who was previously Digital Project Manager at Draftfcb after graduating with first class honours.
“Mulenga is a true digital native, immersed in and passionate about all things digital, underpinned with a solid production focused background,” said Howe. “He brings an enthusiasm and drive to succeed that is both hard to rival and inspiring to be around.”
Agley will be responsible for overseeing project management of national and international digital campaigns for some of the world's biggest brands including Mondelez, Coca-Cola and Hyundai.
“Winning the Cyber Grand Prix at Cannes Lions this year for the OREO Daily Twist campaign is testament to the great digital work Draftfcb are doing globally”, said Agley. “I look forward to working with the London agency’s fantastic roster of clients and pushing boundaries in pursuit of clever, engaging and effective campaigns.”
Following the successful merger between Draftfcb and digital agency Blue Barracuda to create a fully integrated agency for the digital age, the agency is in a strong position. In recent years, Draftfcb has been developing successful digital campaigns and projects for brands such as Hyundai, Coca-Cola, Bayer, Jamaican Tourist Board, LighterLife, Threadneedle and GPS Digital.
Agley is joining a strong digital team including Digital Creative Director, Steven Bennett-Day; Marcus Exall, digital director UK; and Planning Director, Digital Nick Berry.
