TBWA Sydney’s Doug Hamilton becomes creative director at Koala

Hamilton joins Koala from TBWA Sydney
Before joining TBWA Sydney, Hamilton was lead senior copywriter at Droga 5 in New York working on its Google, Under Armour and Covergirl accounts. Previously, he spent two years at Anomaly in New York as associate creative director, working on the Budweiser and Captain Morgan accounts.
No reflection on anyone in this story but highlighting a problem with how out of control the various titles have got, and the confusion around them – “…who has been the Creative Director at TBWA Sydney, and Droga 5 and Anomaly in New York.”
is very different from “…who has been a Creative Director at TBWA Sydney, and Droga 5 and Anomaly in New York.”
Incredibly talented creative and lovely guy, look forward to seeing what he does at Koala!
Top Bloke. Fact.
Will miss you, Doug. Good luck in the mattress trade.
