The acquisition gives BBDO Worldwide greater access to the luxury, fashion and lifestyle sector and the agency will capitalise on Wednesday's ability to deliver fully integrated campaigns, content strategy, digital design and branding, and production for some of the world’s best recognised brands in these categories, including Calvin Klein and Mr Porter.

Andrew Robertson, president and CEO, BBDO Worldwide, said he has been an admirer of the agency for a number of years. "They really know the highly specialised sectors they operate in, have constantly evolved their offer to increase their relevance and strengthen their competitive position, and have built a culture that will sit well with ours. The Wednesday Agency Group will complement our existing offer beautifully.”

Wednesday co-founders Jens Grede and Erik Torstensson will continue their leadership of the creative agency together with CEO Glenn Jones and president Ian Schatzberg.

Torstensson added: “Together with BBDO, we can deliver a tailored best in class creative service on a global basis. We could not imagine a better partner to our agency, people and clients.”

Wednesday will operate as a stand alone agency brand within the BBDO Worldwide Group.
