Partner / CEO (NYC and Toronto) at Anomaly
Sometimes you can go home again-and to great success. Franke leads the agency's New York head office after launching Anomaly Toronto. Prior to his Canadian move, he spent six years in New York as Global Business Director-insuring that the Anomaly DNA stays true to core values through inspirational home-grown talent as the agency expands.
Franke talks about himself as being one of the “lucky ones.” He says, “I get to work at the intersection of creativity, business, technology and popular culture. I wake up almost every day, even the tough ones, and remind myself how good we've got it on the entrepreneurial side of the creative and communications industry.
Consumer behavior changes, the media landscape evolves, technology advances and so the job is different each and every single day; plus, I get to work in collaborative teams with inspiring people, and THAT is what I love most about it.
I'm driven mostly by the challenge of delivering seemingly impossible solutions for hungry, ambitious clients in stimulating work environments (usually with thumping music playing in the background). And I now have the honor of leading a ridiculously talented team of Anomalies across borders. Four-hundred fifty+ people from our NYC and Toronto offices--all united by a single ambition and desire to do something we and our clients can really believe in.”
