Andy Flemming is closing the door on 2024 with a farewell to 72andSunny, where he has been creative lead ANZ for more than three years.

He wrote his goodbye letter on LinkedIn, stating, “All good things come to an end. I’ve adored 72andSunny, and its unique, enthusiastic creative environment has seen my great friends, Genevieve Hoey and Luke Martin, go on to bigger (and truly gigantic) things. Dramatic restructures happen – and generally for the better, unfortunately it also means equally dramatic changes. I adore the agency, but as a free agent now I’m now around to nail all the stuff I’m relatively well-known for being able to nail well.

“Thanks for the ride, Ross Berthinussen and Laura Popa, you’re inspirational leaders. I look forward to seeing, well, you know which account, kick off creatively. Thanks also to the UTTERLY INDESCRIBABLY AWESOME Kia Heinnen, who fought in the trenches with me.

“Fuck it, I guess I have to put that awful green ring around my name.

“New post-apocalyptic diary on the way by the way. Thanks for the idea Hannah Lawson, I’ll put you in there as, I dunno, a radiation-affected zombie or something. It’ll be cool.”

Prior to joining 72andSunny, Flemming spent over 15 years at M&C Saatchi Sydney as group creative director, where he led campaigns such as Can Kids for CommBank, the Ricky Gervais and Idris Elba campaigns for Optus and Tourism Australia’s MateSong.

Flemming finessed his creative skills in Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong and Melbourne before re-establishing himself in Sydney five years as deputy creative director at George Patterson Y&R, followed by 15 as group creative director at M&C Saatchi.

What’s next? Well, he has put that awful green ring around his LinkedIn name.
