Jane Tjokrowidjaja and Anne Lau join DDB Sydney creative team
Jane Tjokrowidjaja and Anne Lau have joined DDB Sydney as art director and copywriter respectively after studying at Miami ad school.
The announcement:
Two young talents are the latest to join the growing, award-winning DDB Sydney creative team.
Jane Tjokrowidjaja and Anne Lau are a young art director/copywriter team who both studied at Miami Ad School before heading off to roles interstate and overseas. They’ve returned home to Sydney to join DDB. Tjokrowidjaja, who said she “likes rap music and appreciates good eyebrows,” studied Art Direction and has interned at Droga5 New York, UncleGrey Copenhagen and Ogilvy New York.
“I moved back to Sydney because I believe it’s one of the best places for young creatives to start their careers,” Tjokrowidjaja said.
Before becoming a copywriter, Lau studied playwriting at NIDA, had her shows presented across Sydney and performed slam poetry in Paris. She last year won two global advertising awards.
“Jane and I are really excited to join DDB. It has a vibrant culture, some very talented people and plenty of opportunities for young creatives,” Lau said.
DDB launched a global creative initiative earlier this year that commits to increasing the number of female creative leaders in every region of the DDB network. The Phyllis Project, named after the legendary Phyllis Robinson – DDB’s first and only copywriter at its founding, and the first female copy chief in U.S history – recognises the significant role women played in igniting the creative revolution, and the need for gender equality among our creative leaders today.
DDB Sydney Managing Director Nicole Taylor said Robinson broke all the rules and opened doors for many women (and men) who followed.
“DDB is committed to continuing to bridge the gender gap that has traditionally existed in advertising,” Taylor said.
