Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has named Jim Curtis and Ryan Fitzgerald as executive creative directors.
The pair join from Droga5 in the US, where they worked as creative directors.
"We are a nation that continues to export some of the best and brightest creative talent the world has to offer, so when the opportunity arises to bring home some of that exceptional talent, we have to jump at it as we've done with Jim and Ryan,” says Clemenger BBDO creative chairman James McGrath.
“Their work speaks for itself and they truly share our belief that creativity is always the answer.”
Curtis and Fitzgerald have worked on award-winning campaigns for Mailchimp, Under Armour and Tourism Australia.
“We couldn’t be more thankful to the whole team at Droga5 for an extremely rewarding few years,” Curtis and Fitzgerald say.
“Having both grown-up in Melbourne, we’re absolutely thrilled to be offered the chance to return home to such an exciting creative opportunity. Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has been a leader in the international creative community for many years and we can’t wait to join James, Evan, Richard and the team and get started.”
Their appointment comes following the departure of Clemenger BBDO Melbourne’s chief creative officer Stephen de Wolf, who joined BBH London to take up the same role.
