Where Story Worldwide, London



For a capitalism-critiquing, post-punk singer to end up advertising cosmetics might not seem like the most linear of career paths. Still, after a few twists and turns, Jon King, the frontman of the influential 1970s and ‘80s band Gang of Four, now heads up the London office of Story Worldwide. That means overseeing the digital marketing and custom-content shop’s work outside of North America and Japan for clients like Finlandia vodka, J&J and Estée Lauder.
