Andy Flemming to join 72andSunny in permanent role
Former M&C Saatchi group creative director, Andy Flemming is set to join 72andSunny in a permanent role, as the agency told Mumbrella he has joined on an extended contract.
When asked about details of his new role, the agency said it didn’t have confirmation of the finalised contract or job title yet, but it plans to send out a release to the industry on Monday.
Flemming departed M&C Saatchi in August last year after a 15-year spell at the agency, being promoted to the group role in 2016.
Departing the agency, he wrote at the time: “To be honest, my GCD role was becoming unfeasible, and M&C Saatchi bent over backwards to make sure that redundancy was absolutely their last wish – going so far as to offer me other roles within the organisation. But 15 years is a ridiculously long time, and it seemed the right moment to take stock and peruse another adventure, wherever or whatever it is.”
Since then, he has been working on a contract role at 72andSunny as creative lead. Flemming worked on 72andSunny’s ‘Helping You Help Them‘ campaign for Google, which was awarded Ad Campaign of the Year at last week’s Mumbrella Awards.
During his time at M&C Saatchi, his work included ‘Ricky Gervais’ and ‘Idris Elba’ for Optus, ‘Can Kids’ for Commonwealth Bank and ‘Matesong’ for Tourism Australia. Alongside founding creative director, Tom McFarlane, he helped build the CommBank’s ‘Can’ brand.
He also worked with clients including Steggles, TAB, and Woolworths.
Nice one, Andy! Hope it’s the start of another awesome chapter.
