We’re thrilled that Mother was part of one of the hottest pitches of the year and has been awarded GM’s Buick account.


From the start of the pitch process, we shared a similar energy, ambition and collaborative spirit with the Buick team. Together, we hope to create a fresh and vibrant platform for a fast-growing brand that operates by a different marketing playbook and exudes a deserved confidence in its vehicles. It feels like an assignment made for Mother.

Anna Murray and Emma Davenport, Chief Production Officers, said

: “Our own growth here reflects the value Mother puts on making and its people; Production is a fundamental partner, bringing creative and resourceful thinking into making the best work we possibly can.Continuing our long-lasting partnership and having the opportunity to shape Mother’s future is something we’re proud to do.”

In creative, Mother has promoted Creative Director Martin Rose to Executive Creative Director. Martin built his creative journey at Mother, starting at the agency in New York in 2012 before relocating to London and working across the agency’s range of high-profile clients. During his ten years in London, Martin has been behind iconic Mother campaigns, from MoneySuperMarket 

 to Uber Eats’ most recent Cannes Lions Gold-winning 

. He will now lead some of the agency’s flagship brands.

Martin Rose, Executive Creative Director, added:

 “Before joining the Mother family 14 years ago, I lost my own. Although it will never replace her, it’s nurtured, guided, and made me who I am today. I look forward to many more years with my adopted Mum, making my own children proud.”

Felix Richter, Chief Creative Officer and Partner of Mother, 

who commented: “Mother has always been about the collective. We’ve been blessed to have these three help build Mother for years and are excited for them to play an even bigger role in our next chapter.”
