VML London extends creative team with host of senior hires

Creative agency VML London is further building up its creative department under the leadership of ECD Harsh Kapadia with four senior hires.

Eve Kemanes and Andreea Nedelcu form the new senior creative team, whilst Paula Hochberg has been hired as senior copywriter and Athina Collaro as senior designer.

In their new roles they will work on VML’s recent account wins Baileys and Nestle Skin Health as well as existing clients including Colgate-Palmolive and the International Olympic Committee. They will also take an active role in the new business drive across the region.

Hochberg joins from Spanish creative agency Senora Rushmore; Kemanes has held positions at Ogilvy, VCCP and Digitas; Nedelcu has worked for Leo Burnett, JWT and Jung von Matt; and Collaro is a concept artist with eight years experience in retail and luxury, having held roles at Jo Malone and Hunter.

“Eve, Andreea, Paula and Athina are part of a new breed of international and hyper-connected creatives,” said Kapadia.

“I’ve been looking at many books and theirs were simply the best ones. I am excited to have them on board.”
