DDB Melbourne announces two new senior creative roles
DDB Melbourne has announced two new senior creative roles at the agency.
After two years with DDB Melbourne, creative partner, Giles Watson has been appointed deputy executive creative director, while creative partner James Cowie has been appointed creative partner – head of copy.
DDB Melbourne ECD, Psembi Kinstan said: “The promotion of Giles will be no shock to anyone that’s worked with him, and for those that haven’t, this promotion is designed to ensure more of our clients and teams across the group get exactly that opportunity.
“For too long, to the detriment of the Australian industry, there’s only one way to progress your career as a creative, and that’s through people management.
“I believe passionately in the role of craft to make all our work better, and passionately in our responsibility to show all creatives that there is more than one path to take in a creative career. I feel privileged to work alongside our Cowie and our growing creative leadership team.”
The DDB Group Melbourne creative leadership team now includes Watson, Cowie, creative director Cam Trollope, creative director Becky Morriss, and creative services manager Sarah Tonner.
Both appointments are effective immediately.
