Career

Tony Granger is Global Chief Creative Officer of Young & Rubicam and architect of the company's global creative community. [1]

Since arriving at Young & Rubicam in 2008, Granger has attracted some of the industry’s best creative talent and fully integrated digital into the agency.[2]

He has also built a global creative community in both spirit and practice. As a result, all of Y&R's clients — anywhere in the world — get access to precisely the right creative talent they need to create the most appropriate and powerful work.

Creating a collaborative creative culture has resulted in great work and results for clients such as Land Rover, Dell, Wendy’s and Gatorade.

It’s also earned great industry recognition. At this past Cannes Lions in June 2014, Y&R won 66 Lions across 14 categories, holding its rank as fourth agency network of the year for the third consecutive year. Y&R had more offices winning Lions than any other network. In addition, the agency was also ranked third for this year’s inaugural Cannes Health show.

Before joining Y&R, Granger spent five years at Saatchi & Saatchi, where he took Saatchi New York to the number one agency at Cannes.[3] There, too, he led the agency’s creative transformation. He led a similar renaissance at Bozell New York, where he took the agency to number three in the world. Granger began his career in his native South Africa, where he led TBWA/Hunt Lascaris, a shop of proud heritage and creative pedigree.[4]

Granger and his agencies have won many awards, and he’s been fortunate to serve as president of several international juries. But he’s most proud to have shaped top creative agencies, and worked with the world’s most sought-after clients on some of the most recognized and influential global brands. He is excited about the future of the business and this industry.
