Saatchi & Saatchi NZ creative director moves to Lavender
Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand creative director Luke Chess is moving to Lavender Sydney to take up the role of executive creative director.
Chess joined Saatchi & Saatchi NZ in January last year as a senior creative. He was promoted to the position of creative director in May.
Chess was previously creative director at BWM (Belgiovane Williams Mackay) Sydney. Clients included Telstra BigPond, Virgin Money, Diageo brands, GIO Insurance, Ateco Automotive and NIB Health Insurance.
