Anomaly
Carl Johnson is a Founding Partner at Anomaly.

Carl is responsible for the guardianship and evolution of the Anomaly's proposition in an ever-changing, sometimes turbulent, increasingly complex industry - ensuring that Anomaly remains compelling and stimulating as the agency continues to scale internationally.

Formerly, Carl was the COO of TBWA\Worldwide and CEO of its New York office - TBWA/Chiat/Day. Whilst there he drove both growth and change - more than doubling the agency's size, and more importantly, introducing the practice of "Connections Planning", arguably the first new industry discipline since the advent of planning.

As significantly, Carl created an innovative climate that attracted talented professionals and inspired and facilitated their ability to flourish.

Prior to moving to the U.S. in 1999, Carl had founded (and subsequently sold) Simons Palmer Clemmow Johnson in the UK - one of the most awarded and respected agencies of the 90's - with clients including Nike, Sony PlayStation, Virgin, British Telecom, and News Corporation. His success as the company's CEO led to him being named one of the UK's top young business executives in Business Age Magazines' "40 under 40" issue.

He is now also the Chairman of Effie Worldwide helping to drive effectiveness in marketing communications across the industry.
