Big loss for BWM. Easily one of the best creative business leaders I’ve worked with.

Big loss for BWM on both counts – Jess Tarpey is one of the best creative and strategic minds in the biz, winning new accounts while putting BWM on the map with a Reconciliation Action Plan that aims to address industry inequality within the indigenous community. Will be interesting to see where they land next!

That’s really a shame to read. Alex came in there and did a great job getting the team focused on turning the place around. I can’t imagine what a hole his departure will leave in that place.
Look forward to hearing where he and Tarpey end up.

An amazing partner for any creative director, as the incredible work at all his previous agencies clearly shows. I am sure you’ll be missed at BWM, mate. Good luck with whatever is next.
