M&C Saatchi hires ex-BBDO New York CD Mike Condrick
M&C Saatchi Sydney has hired former BBDO New York associate creative director Mike Condrick in the role of senior copywriter.
Condrick was at BBDO for two years, and previously at Razorfish as associate creative director and Tribal DDB as senior copywriter.
Condrick’s most recent work was for leading US brands including FedEx, Snickers and Axe. M&C Saatchi ECD Ben Welsh said in a press release that Condrick was hired after a pre-recorded Skype interview.
Condrick writes and performs stand-up comedy, some of which has screened in a late night slot on Comedy Central. He also contributes to the Huffington Post.
He has previously judged the AWARD Awards. His move to Sydney comes after spending his honeymoon here three years ago.
He is adjusting to “how staggeringly beautiful Sydney is, how helpful its residents are and how astonishingly blasé they are about the real threat of being devoured or poisoned by a horrible animal. Oh, and how everyone gets up so early here.”
