Jenny Glover has a new agency home at Zulu Alpha Kilo.

Glover is joining the agency as chief creative officer, partnering with Brian Murray and Stephanie Yung, who were promoted to CCO and chief design officer, respectively, at the end of January. The moves are part of a change to Zulu’s leadership that also saw founder Zak Mroueh taking a broader role as creative chairman, guiding the creative work and mentorship of leaders across all three of the agency’s offices. Glover also fills a creative leadership role vacated by Wain Choi, who will depart the agency at the end of March.

Glover is moving to Zulu from Juniper Park\TBWA, where she had also held the CCO role since June of last year. Prior to that, she had been executive creative director after moving to the agency in 2018 from its South African sister agency, TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris, where she had worked for the previous seven years.

She tells strategy that she is looking forward to working within Zulu’s leadership team, which was “a huge draw for me.”

“I love working with other creatives with varied skillsets and strengths and I believe it’s always better to have many minds sharpening and stress-testing an idea,” she adds.

Glover has led accounts for a wide variety of brands across sectors including financial, retail, consumer goods, travel, telco and automotive. Among the largest brands she’s worked on are Apple, Nissan, Visa, Virgin Air and PepsiCo, and she has presented a Cannes master class on her award-winning work with Mercedes-Benz.

Beyond that work, Glover also co-founded Open Chair, a gender equity initiative within the South African advertising industry designed to open doors for women in creative careers. At JP\TBWA, she ran weekly creative training sessions and masterclasses on thought leadership for the global TBWA network.

That work, alongside her creative chops, caught Mroueh’s eye and, after talking, it was clear to him that they “aligned on so many levels.”

“I feel that driving inclusion, belonging and change in the industry needs to be baked into how you show up every day,” Glover says. “Obviously, working for a company and with people like Zak who share and support those values is hugely important. It’s certainly my hope that by joining forces with Zak and my other partners at Zulu, I could get involved in doing more within the Canadian industry.”
