Johnny Hornby’s Biography

Johnny Hornby began his career at advertising agencies including Ogilvy, CDP and TBWA before setting up Clemmow Hornby Inge (CHI) in 2001.

Rebranded in 2013 and backed by WPP, T&Pm (as a full-service agency) has grown organically by an average of 23% per annum over the last five years.

It attributes this rapid expansion to the success of its in-sourced ‘&Model’ agencies, with multi-disciplined, dedicated teams working alongside clients’ marketing departments to a single bottom line; delivering data-driven innovative work to fit new marketing agendas.

T&Pm was one of Fast Company’s ‘Most Innovative Companies’ in 2020, has been named winner of Campaign’s Best Places to Work in 2022 and its clients include Mars, The Coca Cola Company, Toyota, EA Games, News Corp, Natwest Group, TELUS, Centrica, Aon and TalkTalk.

Johnny is also a co-founder (with Jeremy Clarkson) of Hawkstone - a lager and cider brand which launched in 2021 and rapidly became a best seller on Amazon.
