Andy Jex
Andy Jex is a highly regarded creative advertising executive best known for his long tenure at TBWA, where he rose to become Chief Creative Officer of TBWA\London. During his time at the agency, he was instrumental in shaping award-winning campaigns and building a creative culture that earned the agency significant industry recognition. His work spanned major global and UK brands, cementing his reputation as one of the more respected creative leaders in the London advertising scene. After his time at TBWA, Jex founded Catbird Seat, an independent creative consultancy. The move reflected a broader industry trend of senior creative talent stepping away from large holding company structures to offer more agile, focused creative counsel to brands and agencies. Through Catbird Seat, he has continued to engage with the evolving advertising landscape, including the growing complexity of how creativity intersects with data-driven and programmatic media environments. While Jex's background is rooted in traditional and integrated creative advertising rather than pure AdTech, his influence is felt in how creative strategy adapts to modern media buying, audience targeting, and the demand for relevance in an increasingly automated advertising ecosystem.
