JWT has appointed BWM’s Damien Whitney to the role of head of broadcasting. This follows the departure of Gerri Hamill to JWT Singapore.
The announcement:
Angus Hennah, Executive Creative Director of JWT Sydney has today announced the appointment of Damien Whitney as JWT Head of Broadcast replacing Gerri Hamill.
Hamill is moving to JWT Singapore, as JWT Head of Broadcast, Global, Lux and Sunsilk Asia, following ten years with JWT Sydney. Whitney leaves BWM to take up his new role at JWT in August. Highly regarded in the industry, Whitney is a great hire for JWT. He is well known for transforming BWM’s traditional TV department into the current OnScreen Department incorporating online and digital media needs. “Damien truly is one of Australia’s best agency producers – he’s experienced, creatively astute, commercial, collaborative and we’re thrilled that he will be running our Broadcast Department,” says Hennah.
“I’ve had many great experiences and made some fabulous friends at BWM. But put simply, it was time for a change. This opportunity with JWT arose and I couldn’t resist.
JWT has some great people and I can’t wait to get started,” says Whitney.
