Sphere’s new GM Craig Hunter: large agencies have lost their appeal
Former DDB planning director Craig Hunter has joined The Sphere Agency as general manager.
Hunter joins from Black Sheep, a strategy consultancy he founded and sold to Photon in 2007.
He told Mumbrella: “I have been looking for an ad agency to make my home for some time. The larger agencies have lost their appeal to me and Sphere has impressed me since my first meetings with them.”
He added: “They have a natural energy and passion I have not seen in any other agency for a long time. It’s like a blast of fresh air, being able to really partner with media, digital, creative and activation specialists on a daily basis.”
Well done Hunter. Sphere are lucky to have you!
The larger agencies have lost their appeal to me – me thinks he speaks for a lot of us.
Agreed.
Well done Craig!
A big, bad agency is a terrible place to work. But a small, bad agency isn’t much better. Good is good, bad is bad. Size is irrelevant.
Very best of luck to you fella. Catch up soon I hope.
No doubt Craig will now spend all his time trying to turn Sphere into a large agency.
Congratulations and all the best with your new role.
