Special London chief executive and partner departs

Jennifer Black, chief executive and partner at Special London, is leaving the agency after just over two years. 

Campaign understands Special London is yet to find a replacement for Black. 

A spokesperson for Special London told Campaign: “Jen recently left Special to spend time with her family. We are grateful for all that she did in setting up the agency in London. It is growing fast with an exciting new-business record and award-winning talent flooding in and we are sad to see Jen go. We wish her all the best.” 

Black moved to Special London in 2022 when the New Zealand agency expanded into Europe. She joined a global team across the group’s five other international offices in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney, Melbourne and Los Angeles. 

Prior to joining Special London, Black spent almost four years as managing director of Havas London. She also spent time at Fabula London as founder and managing director, Fallon as client service director and Mother London as business director.

Black has worked on accounts such as Asda, Monkey Shoulder and Mondelez throughout her career
