Jen Leung
Director of Social and Comms Planning
Leo Burnett UK
With a hybrid background in media, creative, social strategy and comms planning, Jen Leung (she/her) moved to the UK from New York last November to help bolster the planning department at Leo Burnett and help fuel the increase desire and need for social-first strategy and creative work as well as comms strategy thinking across various brands such as Kellogg’s, McDonald’s, and Škoda.
Previously she worked at agencies such as Wieden + Kenney, Anomaly, R/GA and BBDO New York where she helped lead award-winning social-first campaigns on spirits brands such as BACARDÍ, Cazadores, St.Germain, and Dewar’s. She also oversaw comms planning for pro-bono campaigns driving social justice such as The Pedestal Project in collaboration with non-profit organisation Colour of Change which won a Cannes Gold.
As a gay Asian American, Jen actively participates in DE:I initiatives since her time at BBDO and now at Leo Burnett and has served as a mentor for marginalised youth in Asian queer communities in New York.
