M&C Saatchi nabs The Monkeys creative director for national role
M&C Saatchi has announced it has recruited The Monkeys’ creative director as its new joint national executive creative director.
On Monday, the company announced Scott Dettrick for the position, who will work alongside fellow national executive creative director, Emma Robbins.
Regarded as one of the founding creatives of The Monkeys, Dettrick has led creative campaigns for brands like MLA, Canadian Club, Amazon, Qantas and Telstra. His work has also been recognised at festivals like Cannes and he has won numerous awards, including three Global Grand Effies.
“I am delighted to welcome Scott to the leadership team, as I’m a long time admirer of his work,” Steve Coll, M&C Saatchi group chief creative officer, said.
“He’s that very rare blend of talent, ambition and humility, and will bring a lot to both our work and our culture. I admire the restless curiosity evident in his creativity, something that will be a great asset to the talented designers, creatives, PR experts and media thinkers in our group, as well as our clients.
“He has consistently created award-winning work that permeates popular culture and pushes beyond the expected. With talents like Scott and Emma as national leads for the M&C Saatchi agency team, we couldn’t be happier.”
Dettrick added: “I’m looking forward to bringing my diverse experience to M&C Saatchi to help lead the great creative talent there and work with some of the best brands and marketers in the country.
“They are an agency I’ve always admired from afar, and to have the chance to help build the next chapter alongside Steve and the ambitious leadership team is very exciting.”
As well as his new role with M&C Saatchi, Scott sits on the AWARD council and is national co-head of AWARD School.
