CHEP Brisbane has announced a new-look leadership team.
Joining CHEP managing partner, Christine Gannon, and executive strategy director, Katie Peacock, is Phil Shearer as executive creative director.
CHEP CEO, Justin Hind, said: “Brisbane, and the broader Queensland market, is not only an incredibly important market for our business, but for the success of our nation.
"To make sure we’re capitalising on the opportunity in the state, we need the very best senior people on the ground, and in Christine, Katie, and Phil, we’ve found the very best.”
In his new role, Shearer will lead CHEP’s creative output across its Brisbane office, supported by Christy Peacock as senior national creative resource.
Shearer's work on Jim Beam has been awarded a Cannes Lion Integrated Grand Prix, while his work during R/GA was awarded at creative shows around the globe.
As ECD at We Are Social, Shearer led the agency’s creative output and took it from being a little known agency to an award winner.
CHEP executive creative director, Phil Shearer, said: “I am excited to be joining an agency that is built from the ground up to thrive in the new economy and to partner with an art director of Christy’s class. I’ve been challenged to build out a world-class creative offering in Brisbane that will further bolster an already impressive national offering.
"It’s even more exciting that I’ve been given a license to build out a creative team that has only one criteria – make sure the talent we hire is awesome, then work out how we make it work. In my experience ambitious clients want to work with the best people and I’m going to make sure that is what they get when they work with CHEP in Brisbane."
