Creative and integrated production agency Wellcom has appointed Oliver Hammerton creative director.
Hammerton has an extensive background in film, music, fashion and advertising across the UK, US and APAC.
He has worked on global brands throughout his career including EMI Records, Samsung, Apple, KIA, Mercedes, Toyota, QANTAS, Cadbury, Tiger Beer, Google, and FIFA. He joins Wellcom following creative director roles at Present Company and Warren.co.
Wellcom Group GM Marnie Darren said Wellcom Australia is transforming into a new kind of agency, offering conceptual and creative leadership, and a true end-to-end production.
“I am excited for what Oli brings to Wellcom," said Darren.
"He has incredible respect for his craft and creates work that evokes, entertains, and resonates culturally. I’m thrilled to have him as part of the Wellcom team. Watch this space for what we do next.”
Hammerton said Wellcom operates at the intersection between creative and production and this is what excited him about working for the agency – that ability to straddle both spaces to create truly compelling work.
“Every time I’ve been on the agency or production side and worked closely with the whole team from the start, the work has always been better," he said.
"It seems to allow the project to be more open-minded and truly spurs collaboration. As a result, everyone, including the client, is more connected along the journey.”
