The Kennedys is Wieden+Kennedy’s in-house creative accelerator program. Inspired by the agency’s late co-founder, David Kennedy, the program first started in 2011 in Amsterdam, later scaling to be offered across the W+K network.
Operating as its own agency within the agency, new talent gets the chance to work on real assignments with real clients and real deadlines. We look for creative people from all fields – we’re talking writers, photographers, artists, designers, filmmakers, animators, coders, game designers, doers, makers, philosophers, architects, thinkers, and poets – to apply for a spot in the program and a chance to come in, learn something, teach something, and make something.
If you think you might be a Kennedy, we’re now accepting applications for the 12th class in 2025.
