John Rowe

Managing Director, Anomaly Alliance

John Rowe has over 20 years of experience in building some of the world’s most iconic businesses with an extensive tenure at Wieden + Kennedy (W+K) Portland and Tokyo. Joining W+K in 2005, he served in lead account management roles for brands including Starbucks, Heineken, Target, The Coca-Cola Company, and Facebook before taking the role as Managing Director in their Tokyo office. During his leadership, W+K Tokyo almost doubled in size in both revenue and staff, and the office won the Campaign Japan/Korea Independent Agency of the Year for three straight years. Returning to Portland for a newly created role, Rowe spent the last five years leading W+K’s larger global relationships for the likes of Samsung, Meta, and VISA.

In his global role at Anomaly, John’s focus is on driving business solutions for existing clients as well as continuing to expand Anomaly’s geographic reach, talent pool, and capabilities via the Anomaly Alliance – a unique co-branded partnership model founded on acquisition rather than ‘affiliation.’
