The inner steel, drive and desire for continual learning and growth are a joy to see and experience in such a young cool cat. Underestimate her at your peril.
Annie started as an intern and now leads our intern programme, restructing and reshaping it annually to ensure fair success opportunities for all who apply, with an increased emphasis on DEI targeting.
Annie isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo, regardless of rank. I love her spirit, energy and enthusiasm.

Guiding principles
Annie is 100 per cent Jack – a shining example of our agency values on a global and local scale, living and breathing passion, agility and respect.
Creatively drives projects/pitches, ensuring experiences are grounded in sound creative strategy whilst flawlessly executed. Brings out the best in teams creating a fun and inclusive dynamic.
How has Covid changed your job?
Covid has hit our industry hard – in my case, the biggest change has been shifting from live events to virtual and striving to capture the same level of engagement and interactivity with an audience through a screen, as you would experience during a live event.
Side hustle
I’m an event professional by day, party planner by night – not officially, but I love going OTT for all occasions; whether it’s a birthday party (I’ve had ‘clients’ as young as 1), a DIY paint night, or a standard after-work social, I’m ready to get stuck in!
