Creative agency Imagination has appointed actor Jack Thompson as the creative ambassador for 2014 Sydney New Year’s Eve.

A star of Breaker Morant, The Man from Snowy River and Australia, Thompson has been chosen to represent the 2014 New Year’s Eve theme of “inspire”.

Imagination director Heath Campanaro said: “Who better to tell the story of Sydney than an Australian screen legend and one of the city’s favourite sons. We’ve been working closely with Jack over several months to ensure that we showcase the very best of what inspires people living in the city and what inspires others to come and visit our shores.”

It is the fourth year Imagination has been appointed to handle the creative direction of Sydney’s New’s Eve with the contract renewed for a further three years late last year.

Last year’s New Years Eve was led by artist Reg Mombassa.
