BBH London has appointed Wonderhood Studios‘ former head of account management David White as its new head of growth. He takes up the role effective immediately.

Reporting into chief executive Karen Martin, White will be tasked with overseeing organic growth of BBH London’s clients, and its wider network including BBH Studios.

White first joined the agency in 2014 on a four-month placement, before spending seven years at the firm and rising to become a senior account director.

On his move, White said: “It’s an honour to come back to BBH where the creative work is booming right now. I loved my time at Wonderhood, and want to thank Alex [Best], Sam [Brown], and the whole agency for their support and everything we achieved over the past three years.

“I can’t wait to work with the team at Kingly Street again. If advertising was football, Karen would be Sir Alex Ferguson, and when Fergie gives you a call, you always answer.”

He left for Wonderhood Studios in 2022, taking up the head of account management role. In his three years there, he lead clients including Waitrose, Coral and Three Mobile.

Wonderhood MD, Sam Brown added: “David has been a key part of Wonderhood over the past few years and a much-loved member of the team. Going back to BBH for a newly created role is a brilliant opportunity for him to broaden his experience and we wish him the best of luck.”
