Decades of experience
McKenna brings nearly three decades of creative experience to Lobengula, having worked at agencies including Grey Worldwide, TBWA\Hunt Lascaris, Joe Public, Ogilvy Johannesburg and The Odd Number.
McKenna has worked across some of the country's biggest brands, including KFC, Cadbury, Castle Lager, DStv, SuperSport, Standard Bank, Steers, Nike, Mercedes-Benz and Samsung.
His work has earned recognition at Cannes, D&AD, The One Show, Loeries, Pendorings, Creative Circle, Assegais, Apex and the Bookmarks. Among his highlights are a Cannes Silver Lion, D&AD Graphite and Wood Pencils, and Loeries Grand Prix wins for Budget Insurance and BBC Earth.
Ambitious culture
“Lobengula has a very clear sense of who they are and where they want to go,” says McKenna. “What attracted me was the talent, the ambition and the opportunity to build great work with people who aren't interested in waiting for permission.”
Khumalo says the appointment is equally deliberate. “We weren't looking for a name,” she says. “We were looking for someone who could help us sharpen our creative ambition, develop our people and build work that demands attention. Terry has done that throughout his career.”
McKenna’s arrival further strengthens Lobengula’s creative leadership, bringing decades of experience to a multidisciplinary team with its sights firmly set on bigger, bolder work.
