Dentsu Creative Appoints Kyle Harman-Turner as UK Chief Creative Officer

​Dentsu Creative has appointed Kyle Harman-Turner as chief creative officer, a significant hire that reflects the agency's commitment to building brands for what’s next with creativity, innovation and commercial impact.

Kyle will play a central role in shaping the next chapter of Dentsu Creative, leading the creative partnerships for clients including The NFL, Adobe, Hilton, Waitrose, Sky Gaming, Halfords, Sherwin Williams and a growing portfolio of ambitious brands. One of the industry's most respected creative leaders, Kyle has built a career creating work that is talked about, debated, shared and remembered.

Across more than two decades in the industry, his work has redefined some of the world's best-known brands. From MoneySuperMarket's iconic ‘Epic Strut’, to Skoda’s ‘Penis Responders’ subverting the Tour de France into a recruitment campaign for female cyclists, and most recently Andrex's ‘Get Comfortable’ winning in both 2025 and 2026 at Cannes Lions, his ideas have consistently found their way into popular culture whilst delivering cultural and commercial impact.

Before joining AMV BBDO, Kyle spent 15 years at Mother across its London and New York offices, rising to become co-founder and executive creative director of innovation studio The Or. There, he helped pioneer new creative experiences that blurred the lines between advertising and entertainment, including The Out, an immersive experience for Jaguar Land Rover that saw members of the public “kidnapped" and dropped into an unforgettable driving adventure.

​Jessica Tamsedge, CEO, Dentsu Creative UK&I, said, "Building for What's Next isn't just our proposition for clients, it is a commitment to our people. Dentsu Creative is where ambitious talent come to stretch themselves, learn from one another and make innovative work that has a transformative impact on our clients’ businesses.

Kyle is one of the most exciting creative leaders in the industry today. His work speaks for itself but it is his curiosity and zero ego approach that truly set him apart. He cares deeply about developing the next generation of talent, creating an environment where people can do the best work of their careers in a culture where ambition and kindness sit side by side.

We've taken our time over this appointment. It was important we found someone who truly reflects where Dentsu Creative is headed and matches the energy, pace and creativity of our clients and people."

Kyle Harman-Turner, chief creative officer, Dentsu Creative UK&I, said, "All I've ever wanted from this industry is to work with genuine, humble and smart people who have the energy, desire and ambition to make brilliant work. I want to express my wholehearted thanks to the FCB family and wish everyone at AMV nothing but continued success.

In moving to Dentsu, I'm buzzing to join Jessica, who everyone in our industry knows is the very smartest of cookies.

It says so much that every time I've met with the team, we've not been able to take a breath with all the exciting possibilities ahead. The combination of brilliant talent, global collaboration and Dentsu's unique heritage of innovation – including some genuinely incredible technology coming out of Japan – make this an opportunity to build something really special.”

​Katy Wright, chief client and business officer, AMV London, said, "Kyle has made a huge contribution during his time with us, and we're incredibly proud of everything we've achieved together. His work on the Andrex 'Get Comfortable' platform is a testament to his creativity, ambition and ability to create work that truly resonates. While we'll miss having him on the team, we're thrilled to see him take on a new challenge. He leaves with our thanks, our respect, and our very best wishes. We know he'll be a brilliant success in his new role."
