JWT appoints Simon Langley as ECD after Mark Harricks departure
Former 303Lowe executive creative director Simon Langley is set to take the creative reins at JWT after the news Mark Harricks is set to leave the agency emerged last week.
Langley parted ways with 303Lowe in December 2012 after nearly two years with the agency, which he joined from BMF where he was a creative director for six years.
In a statement he said: “It’s great to be joining JWT at a time of real momentum and change. The newly appointed management team is young, energetic and has a vision that I share and can’t wait to help bring to life. My role will be to build on this momentum and cement JWT as a standout creative agency in the region.”
“I’ve always believed in doing your best work on your biggest brands, and with one of the best client lists in the country, there will be plenty of opportunities to do just that. I can’t wait to get started.”
Langley has worked on a number of campaigns including the Gravox ‘best ever’ chip gravy campaign, a campaign for RAMs and an Ikea catalogue campaign.
JWT Sydney’s clients include Kellogg, Nestle, Kimberly-Clark, HSBC, Unilever, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Schick and Panasonic.
