MEDIA RELEASE
14 October 2009
Jeremy Taine has resigned as Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy effective 12 November. Basil Christensen and Damon O’Leary have been named as Joint Executive Creative Directors and will oversee Ogilvy’s national creative department.
Jeremy joined
Ogilvy when the company he owned with Roy Meares, MTC, was
acquired. Over the last three years, Ogilvy’s creative
profile and reputation has been showcased and awarded, much
of this due to Jeremy’s talent.
“I'm genuinely
thrilled with this new Creative Leadership Team and am very
much looking forward to working with them as we capitalise
on the foundation Jeremy and Roy helped establish,” states
Ogilvy Managing Director Greg Partington.
“We all
wish Jeremy and his family well as they explore new
opportunities.”
Ogilvy is one of New Zealand’s
largest and most respected advertising agencies and was
awarded with two gold effies including ‘Best In Show’ at
the CAANZ Effectiveness Awards on
Thursday.
