BMF has added award-winning international creatives Doug Hamilton and Casey Schweikert to the team.
Doug Hamilton joins BMF as a creative director with a decade of experience.
He has worked at agencies including Droga5 NY, Anomaly, BBH Singapore and TBWA Sydney on campaigns for clients such as Google, Under Armour, Covergirl, Budweiser and Captain Morgan.
“BMF turns out such consistently excellent and effective work, I’m chuffed and humbled to help Alex and the team push for even greater heights," Hamilton says.
"From day one I’ve felt welcome and at home. I can’t wait to hit the ground sprinting.”
After spending four years working in New York at R/GA and BBH, Casey Schweikert decided to return to her hometown of Sydney.
During that time, she produced work for various global brands such as PlayStation, Amazon, Planned Parenthood, Seamless, Verizon and JBL.
“I’ve always been a fan of BMF and the work they’ve done, so I’m very excited to join the team," Schweikert says.
"Lots of great creative opportunities to get stuck into with an awesome bunch of people.”
The new appointments come as BMF took home the AdNews Effectiveness Award at the AdNews Agency of the Year Awards last week.
“As Australia’s most effective creative agency, there are no better hires than Doug and Casey," BMF chief creative officer Alex Derwin says.
"They both bring a powerful combination of international pedigree and local expertise, and they’ve already started to push our thinking into some really interesting spaces. Most importantly, they fit with the culture of the place – they’re talented, smart, humble and nice.”
