Simon Langley is moving, after two years at Edge, to independent agency Bastion as group chief creative officer and partner.
Langley joins national chief strategy officer Angela Morris, Sydney managing partner Ana Lynch and CEO Mike Godwin on the leadership team.
Langley will lead the creative offering of Bastion Creative, but his role will extend across the group to help define, drive, unite and support the creative ambition of the other Bastion capabilities and ensure their clients benefit from seamlessly integrated ideas.
Langley has held creative leadership roles at 303 MullenLowe helping the agency double in size before the acquisition by Lowe and over six years at BMF, three as creative director, helping win multiple Agency of the Year titles and Agency of the Decade.
Bastion Creative CEO Mike Godwin says: “Simon has been successfully leading creative departments for over a decade. He has a reputation for being an open, positive collaborator both within the agency and with clients, and is equally passionate about delivering memorable and highly effective work."
