Landor & Fitch hires Meta’s Teemu Suviala as global chief creative officer

Landor & Fitch, the WPP-owned brand and design consultancy, has hired Teemu Suviala away from Meta to become its new global chief creative officer. Suviala had been global head of brand design for Meta’s Reality Labs. In his five-plus years at Meta, he worked on the company’s rebrand from Facebook, including the naming, branding and visual identity, and its metaverse brand design work in augmented and virtual reality. He previously held roles at brand design agencies Collins and Wolff Olins. At Landor & Fitch, Suviala will lead creative teams across more than 20 countries, working with clients such as Apple, Netflix, Coca-Cola, Lego and the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. A particular focus will be integrating new technologies into the company's design offering. “He’s an exceptional designer with a long track record of delivering transformative work and a compassionate leader with a truly global view,” said Jane Geraghty, Landor & Fitch’s CEO, to whom Suviala will report. “With our recent rapid growth and influx of new talent, Teemu’s passion for nurturing creative cultures makes him the perfect creative leader for us.” More than anything, Suviala said he was drawn to Landor & Fitch’s culture—“a singular vision and commitment to working as one to deliver the extraordinary and make a positive difference ... a culture that not only obsesses about creativity and innovation to achieve success but aspires to reach it together.” He added that he’s eager to explore “how we can be at the forefront of the Imagination Age with new technologies such as AI and by blurring the lines between our physical and virtual worlds to create the better, bolder brand experiences which appeal to the consumers, clients, and stakeholders of today and tomorrow.” “It’s hard to find a global talent with as long a track record of creative excellence as Teemu,” said Rob Reilly, global chief creative officer at WPP. “But what impresses me most about him is his commitment to bringing greater diversity to the design industry. We can’t wait to see the impact he has on our people and clients.” Top marketers, brands and agency ventures Ad Age Datacenter’s definitive rankings of the biggest U.S. and global advertisers and agency companies Click here
