Jung Von Matt London has strengthened its creative team with the appointment of two new creative teams. They are senior team Joe Roberts (standing right) and Doug Redfern (sitting right), and junior team, Alexandra Smith (standing left) and Emily (sitting left) McIntosh.
Joining from rival agency Havas London, Robert and Redfern will now be tasked with overseeing the business, which was secured by the agency in February.
Reporting to ECDs Charlie Hurst and Marcos Gemal, Robert and Redfern have formed a partnership for eight years, having worked on a range of high-profile campaigns including “Grow like only a teacher can”, for the Department for Education, and a John West’s tie-up with the 2024 ParalympicsGB athletes.

Robert and Redfern commented: “After chatting with Charlie (Hurst), Marcos (Gemal) and the talented team at JvM, we knew the journey they are on is one we had to be a part of. We can’t wait to get going.”
Smith and McIntosh partnered in 2023 and recently went viral on LinkedIn with their job post titled “We are hiring a new ECD… to be our boss”, attracting over 300,000 impressions globally. The pair joined the agency just 24 hours later.
“We are thrilled to welcome both teams to our expanding creative department. They each bring unique strengths, and we can’t wait for them to get started,” Hurst and Gemal said.
