McCann Sydney appoints Clemenger BBDO’s Ben Coulson as chief creative officer
Ben Coulson, the former chief creative officer of Clemenger BBDO Sydney, has joined McCann Sydney as CCO.
When speaking about his new role Coulson said McCann is “a damn interesting proposition at the moment.”
‘McCann is a damn interesting proposition’: Ben Coulson
“I was hit with a pang of jealousy when I heard about Ben Lilley’s acquisition and plans for McCann Australia a few months ago. He has a unique thing going on, building a fully independent agency backed by the hottest network in the world right now,” Coulson said.
Well done Bens!
Woah!
Why? No one ever lasts here. It’s the revolving door of the CBD.
This is hardly a constructive comment. But it would be remiss of me not to point out the considerable stability and growth we enjoyed during my previous 7 year stint as CEO at McCann. And our successes as the most awarded agency in Australia for both creativity and effectiveness. Our Sydney office has experienced a number of changes over the past 2 years while I took time out from the business. But we now have a new and hugely talented leadership team that is focused once again on building their careers and future successes at McCann. This is the ‘why’ behind talented people like Ben Coulson wanting to join our new McCann offering. And hopefully it’s something you’ll be able to celebrate with us as we continue to grow and thrive once again.
