Six Black Pens appoints group creative head

Six Black Pens has appointed Brad Stevens as its group creative head.

The announcement:

Independent agency Six Black Pens has added to its growing creative leadership team with the appointment of Brad Stevens as Creative Group Head.

Stevens joins the Sydney- and Melbourne-based agency from his role as Co-Founder and Creative Director of Born & Raised. Previous roles include Design Director at Landor Paris and at M&C Saatchi’s Re in Sydney, with award wins from the New York Type Directors Club, New Zealand’s Best Design Awards and the AGDA Design Awards.

Says Joe Mayock, Six Black Pens Head of Creative: “Brad represents a rich mix of talents, bringing a passion and instinct for creative work alongside a personality you can’t help but be drawn to. These are a perfect fit for a senior leader in our growing creative team and I’m thrilled to have him on board.”

As a senior member of Six Black Pens’ hybrid team of strategists, writers, creatives and designers, Stevens says he’s looking forward to contributing to big ideas that stretch across needs, pressures and environments.

“The world’s digital now – there’s no one place for a brand to live,” he states. “Creating brand and big ideas that are super flexible is the way forward. I love creating something with an idea at the heart but never forgetting the places in which it’ll live: it needs to be able to move, to be interacted with, to be found.”

Stevens’ appointment is the second senior hire in the growing creative department at SBP, specialist in B2C and B2B marketing solutions for complex corporates; in November Joe Mayock joined as Head of Creative, leading the agency’s full creative team.

Says Julia Scott, Six Black Pens Managing Director: “We’re recruiting on the back of multiple new client wins and an expansion of work from our long-term clients. When you work on solving hard problems to deliver real results, you need a top-notch creative leadership team. We couldn’t be more confident that in Joe and now Brad that’s exactly what we have.”
