Nike Names Wieden + Kennedy as Lead Creative Agency on Converse After a Review

The account had been with Anomaly since 2007

Nike has expanded a 36-year relationship with Adweek’s 2017 Global Agency of the Year, Wieden + Kennedy, by assigning lead creative duties on its Converse brand to the Portland-based independent agency.

In response to queries regarding the business, a brand representative wrote, “We have nothing to confirm or announce at this time.” But multiple parties with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed independently that W + K Portland recently won the account after a competitive review.

An agency spokesperson deferred to the client for comment.

It is not clear whether the review was managed internally or by a third-party consultancy.
