JWT Company Overview
“JWT has the ability to deploy the very best global thinkers at our disposal and to marry them
with colleagues in the trenches in far-flung regions with one common goal: the success of
our client.”
- Bob Jeffrey, Chairman and CEO, JWT Worldwide
Since JWT’s founding in 1864, passion for innovation has led the agency to build the first full-service advertising agency, pioneer ad careers for women, introduce sex appeal in ads, produce the first sponsored-TV program, develop account planning and forge the first international network. Nearly 150 years later, JWT continues to lead, innovate and define the world of marketing communications.
With nearly 10,000 employees worldwide and more than 200 offices in over 90 countries, JWT sells more products to more people in more places than any other agency in the world.
Subsequently, over 1,200 of the world’s most popular brands rely on and trust JWT to develop innovative marketing communications, allowing us to enjoy some of the longest and strongest client relationships in the advertising world, including a half century or more with Unilever, Kraft, Kimberly-Clark, Kellogg’s, Ford, Nestlé and Rolex.
JWT opened its first international office in London more than a century ago, helping to pioneer the concept of the global ad network. Our multilayered, multicultural network is one of our key strengths and supports our extensive multinational client base. As one of the largest and oldest agencies in the world, we’ve remained big for a very long time by staying on the leading edge, bringing in new people with new skills and embracing new and bold ideas.
