Jonathan Cude
Partner, Chief Creative Officer
Jonathan joined McKinney in 2003 as group creative director from Wieden+Kennedy. At Wieden, he demonstrated a broad creative range, from the humor of Nike “Streaker,” Creativity’s runner-up for ad of the year, to the inspiring drama of the Cannes Gold Lion winner, Nike “Before.” As McKinney GCD and CCO, Jonathan’s teams have won virtually every major award from Cannes Lions and One Show Pencils to IAB MIXX Awards (including the inaugural best of show) and 12 Effies. Since Jonathan became CCO, McKinney has been a two-time O’Toole finalist for mid-size agency of the year and had its best-ever creative award performance in 2012. A Texas Longhorn, Jonathan was named chief creative officer in 2008.
