Wonderhood Studios, the agency which recently set up a customer experience division head by former Rapp chief Caroline Parkes, has appointed its very own five-a-side team to strengthen its creative department.
Established in 2018, Wonderhood insists it is “small enough to care, big enough to deliver” with a client base that includes Waitrose, the National Theatre, Nike, Three, Coral, Starling Bank, Branston, Hargreaves Lansdown and Sarson’s.
First up, Holly Nash and Alysha Radia have joined as “mid-weight creatives”, from BBC Creative, where they spent more than two years as creatives. They worked on the award winning “Not just telly” campaign, as well as the viral reactive ad for Traitors “Revenge is sweeter than fizzy rosé”. The duo have also spent time at BBH and Uncommon before meeting at BBC Creative.
Meanwhile, Sophie Crean also joins as a mid-weight creative from We Are Social, where she worked on campaigns for First Direct and Suntory Global Spirits. Her move to the UK followed two years at New Zealand agency Motion Sickness, contributing to award-winning social work for Frank Energy and the “You’re Cooked” campaign for Fire Emergency NZ.
Finally, Coel James and Chiara Piccirillo have been appointed junior creatives following a creative placement in March this year. They have recently created campaigns such as the latest instalment of “Us vs Them” for INEOS and the “Anything’s a kebab if you put a skewer through it” special build for Waitrose.
Between them, the creative team have had previous placements at Wieden+Kennedy, Accenture Song and Quiet Storm, and won a 2024 D&AD New Blood Yellow Pencil.
All th enew recruits will work across a range of client briefs.
Executive creative directors Jack Croft and Stacey Bird said: “We are more than thrilled to add these brilliant creative brains to the Wonderhood hive mind.
“Sophie brings a fresh perspective to our social thinking, Holly and Alysha have added their breadth of experience and brilliant ideas, and our ace placement team Coel and Chiara have proved themselves and then some with their energy and creativity. We can’t wait to see what these wonderful additions will do here.”
