Communications network VCCP has bolstered its creative department by adding three new teams.

The agency has hired VML’s Charli Camber and Laura Saraiva, who are best known for their work on ‘Waiting to Live’, a child organ donation campaign for the NHS. It won multiple awards including three Cannes Lions, the Grand Prix at Clios, ADC*E and multiple D&AD Pencils.

The pair also launched mentoring app Magpie and devised cervical cancer awareness campaign ‘Check Me Out’.

Returning to VCCP’s creative department are duo Jack Snell and Joe Lovet, who rejoin the agency as a senior creative team. During their first tenure at the firm, the pair created campaigns for Domino’s, Virgin Media O2 and Cadbury.

While Lance Boreham and Tom Dyson join VCCP as a senior creative team. The pair first met on the Watford ad course in 2014 and reunited at Isobel, where they worked on campaigns for clients such as Red, Travelodge and Thortful.

A statement from Jonny Parker and Chris Birch, chief creative officers at VCCP, said: “One of the best things about this job is bringing in brilliant creative minds to make work that not only we love, but the world does too.

“Charli and Laura we’ve admired for a while as they hoover up every award going. Jack and Joe are VCCP heroes, responsible for some of our greatest hits, and, well, we just really missed them.”

They added: “Lance and Tom everybody told us to hire. We dithered for a bit. But then they sent us a plate with their faces on and we jumped at them. They’re all fearless thinkers who push boundaries, and we’re chuffed to have them here helping us make work that properly populates culture.”

The new hires will work across several of VCCP’s accounts, including recent wins Direct Line Group, Hovis and Co-op.
