Johnny Hornby

Founding Partner, CHI & Partners

The founding partner of Clemmow Hornby Inge & Partners began his career as a graduate trainee at Ogilvy & Mather, progressing to ‘the hottest agency in town’ TBWA, where he became joint managing director within 18 months, responsible for Labour’s advertising during the 2001 election campaign. When he left, on the day of Labour’s win, to found CHI, he took one of his largest clients with him – Sir Charles Dunstone, head of Carphone Warehouse, who let Hornby use a loft space above one of his shops. As CHI grew, it moved its headquarters to Soho and today its 400 staff look after clients such as Samsung, Virgin and Royal Bank of Scotland.
