DDB Sydney recruits TBWA’s Melbourne creative director Tara Ford as ECD
DDB Sydney has created an executive creative director (ECD) role, appointing TBWA Melbourne’s creative director Tara Ford.
The agency said Ford was joining the agency following “amazing growth” off the back of its Virgin Australia account win, and McDonald’s consolidating its whole account with the group.
Ben Welsh, chief creative officer at DDB said he’d always wanted to work with Ford, and was looking forward to adding more firepower to the DDB team.

Congratulations Tara.
Sitting as far apart as possible sends a very weird message in that image, for two people who are supposed to work closely together. Interesting that no one at an agency would even stop to query it.
