Creative agency BMF has strengthened its creative team hiring creative duo copywriter Jim Curtis and art director Ryan Fitzgerald from DDB Sydney, which has itself announced a new planning director, hiring Anna Bollinger from Droga5.

Bollinger is the second senior planner to leave Droga5 in the past month, with planning head Justin Graham departing the agency for M&C Saatchi in December, to be replaced by ex-Lion marketer Jon Bradshaw.

However, promising young creative duo Curtis and Fitzgerald who have created campaigns for a wide range of clients including Volkwagen, McDonald’s, Arnotts, Telstra and Cadbury have departed the agency for BMF.
